The way it was: dressed conservatively, keeping a low profile, always polite, going out of one’s way not to offend anyone and hoping and praying not being found out. Survival kit of gay men everywhere in those days, enough to drive any man mad :( If one was lucky a companion would be found or a circle of gay friends to celebrate the holidays with, when one was ostracized by family. We’ve come a long way and now there are reactionary forces at work to take us back, way back. Time to become activist again. :)
