Talk about living authentically in the face of overwhelming societal pressure to lie, hide, and conform! Life of erstwhile Hollywood A-lister, William Haines, who refused to bow to the prude prick holier&than-thou Censors. This short documentary also gave me newfound respect for Joan Crawford.
I will share this with the history group & the movie group. Reminds me of Quentin Crisp "The Naked Civil Servant".
Oh yes, Crisp! Also reminds me of the early 1990s pbs documentary "The Celluloid Closet."
@MikeInBatonRouge Then there is "Tipping the Velvet". A PBS series depicting 19th Century gay women's sociology. Correction history.

@Mooolah Why would I watch anything about women??
KIDDING! I will check that out for sure.
@MikeInBatonRouge I knew you would question this. Testing your response. Because it is history, reclaimed & I am sure you love JUDY & LIZA. =0} And you are here for community. I "HAD" to watch Queer as Folk with my friends. Suffer. =-}
@Mooolah if I must(sigh)! Lol
I don't think I could find respect for Crawford as a person. She did have moments, though.
Dubious person, commendable fag-hag!
