Growing Up Gay in Alabama in the 70s
This is a good opinion piece about what it was like growing up gay in the 1970s. Life was very different back then for gay men. But the author believes it’s more difficult today for all LGBTQ kids for various reasons. He makes a few good points.
It saddens me to realize that as a young gay man in the late 70′s, I probably got a more affirming education than LGBTQ students in Alabama may get today.
Here’s more Alabama also has its own version of a don’t say gay bill. Which of course makes it more difficult for kids to discuss lGBTQ issues.
