Happy Pride from The Rejected!

https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/225539


Today, on my FB feed, I discovered that the 1961 documentary, The Rejected, the first of its kind about the subject of homosexuality, has been found and somewhat restored. Alas, the section featuring Margaret Mead is shoddy. I did a very quick search of this board and found nothing, so I hope this isn't a redundant post.


At any rate, I'm including a link here so you can watch it at your leisure or, like me, instead of doing work. The Mattachine men are interesting, discussing how the 'swish' is the stereotype most people know, but that most gay men and woman are just normal, hardworking people. It's a little depressing that this particular talking point has survived for nearly 55 years, but there you have it. It's rather remarkable, and I encourage you to make time to view this.


Happy pride!


Love,


A proud swish

Oh yeah, the assimilationists have always stood in opposition to the liberationists. Thanks for that link. So much.

Alas, some of the picture quality can be verrrrrry frustrating. But I'm very grateful that it's been found, even in this state.


There's a really woof-y attorney interviewed named Al Bendich who argued that laws against consensual adult sexual behavior were asinine and bizarre in how a married man going down on his wife was legal in Ohio, but a married woman going down on her husband was a crime. Because I'm a shallow wish, I decided to Google him and discovered that he's the attorney that successfully defended Ginsberg's HOWL. I would have crushed on him so hard!

Al Bendich was a prominent ACLU lawyer who defended Lenny Bruce and Allen Ginsberg. He was later a film producer with Saul Zaentz and did movies like The English Patient and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
