Mixing with gay men 1960s
“I mixed with gay men more than most of them because we lived with two gay guys, but mostly there wasn’t a lot of intermixing. The men looked down on the girls quite a lot. ‘How could they have a homosexual relationship anyway?’ Once they realised we were there they backed down, there wasn’t a lot of animosity, just a bit of intolerance. They didn’t like the girls in their clubs because they couldn’t get so many blokes in and couldn’t do what they wanted to on a Saturday night, But it’s improved.”
