This type of documentary is very important for the understanding of the species. Prejudices still exist but slowly, one person at a time, we are countering them. Thank you for uploading this
Contagious? Are you serious? Really sad. So a man having sex with another man is more dangerous and evil than a man murduring another person.Madness I tell you.#EqualityForAll #GodLovesEverybody
I think the politician man speaking saying it's "contagious" is ridiculous! FYI mate.. you can't catch gay..it's not the chicken pox mate! 😡 such ignorance of that guy is laughable cos he doesn't know what gay really is..it's not just about sex, it's about chemistry and if you are meant to be together then thats great, just like straight people oh and btw, straight guys bugger there girlfriends too, so why didn't they go to prison???. Feelings that tell you deep down, fate has made me this way, it's not my fault, so I just except it and move on and if I find mr right all well and good. Women just don't do it for me...no offense but they can be too needy, bitchy, take ages to get ready and high maintenance, some of them that is.
From another guy, I'd rather he say, "Theres my Mr Giggles" as a term of endearment, instead of sweetheart which the hetero scots guys say to some girls round here.
@blastoffify. I had a scottish boyfriend once, he kept calling babe all the time & it drove me crazy inside! I kept thinking to myself FFS I'm not the pig out of that movie mate. I will try to never go out with a scottish bloke again... especially if he starts calling me BABE or SWEETHEART. I'd rather be called what I had put on my previous message to you "Mr Giggles" cos I like to have a good laugh at the right time when im a little tipsy or sober. I cant stand being called the following names either cookie, doll, teddy bear, wee man (even though I'm 4"6, I am sick of people rubbing me over the head quickly like mates do to other mates for even a laugh, I just have to grin & bare it. #NOPETNAMESEVER
@@outtherelivinginthepub1973 Thank you for clarifying cuz not all women take forever, I'm ready way before I'm suppose to go anywhere or do anything, lol. But I totally get what you're saying. Everybody deserves love and freedom of speech and I respect what you're saying!
Thanks for uploading this. Like Shaun said, this pisses me off, but it's history and it is important and fascinating to see the events that has led up to this present point in progress.
Cannot believe they said that ,it is so totally ridiculous and unjust. It is hard for us today to understand just how much the gay men and women went through in those eras . I wish that I could read more on gay lives of the 1930s-1960s.
That is one Scottish flyboy hottie, wowzah! :) Seriously, such a terrible way to live, looking over your shoulder every minute. Nice to know that regardless of the puritans' best efforts, love finds a way.
Was it against the law for gay couple to kiss and hold hands in public in England,back in the 1950's, as long as they did not commit buggery?I know it was a crime in the 1950's to commit buggery,what about public affection?
Michael Lantz As far as I know any form of homosexual public display of affection was illegal. Even it wasn't, the government went to great lengths (falsified evidence, pure speculations, and obviously untrustworthy "witnesses") to imprison anyone who they suspected was a homosexual/guilty of buggery. As Peter Wildeblood put it in his autobiography, if you were gay you were simply a misfit, but if you acted on your feelings you were a criminal.
Jessie Charles I read in a British History book that homosexuality became acceptable and tolerable behavior in the late 1960's and 1970's in Britain, and that gay people were free to engage in this behavior in public.
Michael Lantz It was no longer against the law and in certain places yes they could show that they were a couple, but I imagine it was still very much at their own risk.
Hallie Hurst Being homosexual in the United States of America was against the law up until 2003 when The U.S. Supreme Court struck down all the laws in all 50 states.What you did in the privacy of your own home was the governments business up until 2003.
This is extremely interesting. And I'd love to see the rest of it. But the incessant cigarettes make it unbearable to watch. Even holding a piece of paper in front of my eyes, to block out the ciggy visuals, I can still HEAR them smoking. I realize that Gays are still being targeted by the Tobacco Industry (along with other potentially self-hating groups), and that the producers of these shows get heavy bribe money to turn every Gay-themed British film/documentary into a nonstop cig-fest. But really, there are limits, and I can't watch any more. Thanks for uploading, though.
I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the train of "tobacco companies are targeting the LGBT community and this is just a gross representation of how they do it". This took place during a time when smoking occurred this frequently and was quite different than it is today.
I was born in 1952 in the U.S., and never smoked, but find it disgusting also. However, my father smoked most of his life, and my mother (who happened to be from England) smoked until she got pregnant with me, but not thereafter. In the era before the warnings on smoking people smoked everywhere, movie theaters, public transportation including airplanes and buses, the workplace, etc. In fact at one time, smoking was touted as being an aid to digestion. Thank god we're more enlightened, but it's a bad habit that many still pick up, especially teenagers in this country and also in developing countries.
Oh, come on!! Second "eye" smoke? You can't even watch it?! Warning: don't watch any films of the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. They're filled with people smoking.
@@bradberwick True: even doctors smoked in the 50s, and some recommended a cigarette to "calm the nerves". Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter (1945) says "The street was empty...so I sat down and lit a cigarette. I know you don't approve of women smoking in the street. I don't either, really, but I needed to calm my nerves and I thought it might help"

It is amazing and worrying that people in such high and important positions could be so ignorant!!!! And i'm sad to say that some people still are.
Yes they are! It is a severe flaw in the system. Who gets authority and power and who doesn't.
Abit like trying to make us gays straight and making the straights even more masculine. 😂
Contagious? Are you serious? Really sad.

@@outtherelivinginthepub1973 Ikr. As a female I have those pet names. It's ridiculous but I like Me Giggles, it's cute and sweet.
Diana Gabaldon's Lord John -books have a similar theme, though the story is placed in 18th century and the head character John makes it more personal.

OMG!!! I can't believe this happened!!!
I can only imagine the absolute fears that the society of that era put upon gays. Dangerous love under the total power of the law.
Thanks for uploading. A great documentary although it angers me somewhat.
"Troops catch it, and spread it on..." Oh my God! Such backward thinking!
LOL
Backward is in fact too mild a word. They set humanity back about 100,000 years.
Cannot believe they said that ,it is so totally ridiculous and unjust. It is hard for us today to understand just how much the gay men and women went through in those eras . I wish that I could read more on gay lives of the 1930s-1960s.
Huntleys and Palmers! 😋
This is worth watching alongside 2017's "Against the Law"
It was the 50's. We must remember that in that time en England and until 1967 be a homosexual was a felony
I like Sam Heughan better in this then in outlander.
Is it Sam Heughan voice?
not onoy voice, its him
I hated being a child living in the terribly repressed 1950's. Both of my parents "dabbled," but, they enforced the cultural norms until they passed.
That is one Scottish flyboy hottie, wowzah! :) Seriously, such a terrible way to live, looking over your shoulder every minute. Nice to know that regardless of the puritans' best efforts, love finds a way.
His name is Sam Heughan. He is an amazing actor. Extremely diverse! And extremely hot! 😍🔥
+corbinsgyal96
a brilliant and fearless actor I would say. He takes on roles that others might shy away from and gives himself completely to the part.
globalman hi
I’m from Philippine I like this movie
Omg thats so terrible that happen to them
Being a lesbian, it's harder to come out to anyone.
Pleased they told this story, a bit of a looker that Martin Hutson
this is very nice for me. Like it very much I wish I have scandal like that...
I love it how the gays are hot in this
AnoDaw?
Phoar Martin Hutson. Ludicrously hot

2003 really? I wouldn't have said that. In that case I imagine that being gay in late 1960s britain was similar to early 70s USA..
I'm so amaze
