Homosexuality was not discussed in the 1950s
1955
“Homosexuality was not discussed in the 1950s. It was ‘the love that dare not speak its name’ and, therefore, God knows how some of us used to meet but meet we did because in those days there were less bars but there were more what we would now refer to as ‘cottages’ which were meeting places for gay guys and I also used to go to cottages to meet gay guys.”
