Coming Out : A Closeted Scene

1981

Garry first came out in the . It was his first gay bar/club and he saw the act of going there as his coming out.

"You have to come out to yourself before you come out to other people and in those days it wasn't as free to be gay. It wasn't as open. There were no big windows in pubs and clubs. They were either blackened out or behind closed doors. The front door had a little hatch at eye level and you rang the bell and somebody looked through that and you were either let in or you weren't."
