LGBTQ* Documentary Film History You Should Know

CBS’s “The Homosexual” (1967)

*Trigger Warning: Video shows homosexuality as social and mental disease as well as showcases homosexuals as pedophiles and criminals in the film 

Anchored by Mike Wallace, who passed away this week. Wallace represented a fair voice and provided narrative both fair and far more progressive than most people showed at such at time. (Remember, homosexuality was still concerned a mental illness at this time and this documentary predates the Stonewall Riots)
