1972: STRAIGHT BIGOTS VS GAY DEMO

Watch the video

In 1971 or 1972, Gay Activist Alliance demonstrated outisde of AT&T to protest that company's prohibition on hiring anyone who was gay. This is historical footage shot during that demonstration. It show a lively interaction between agressive gay militants & a heterosexuyal lawyer, Hal Weiner, and onlookers who took a dim view of gay rights in general. This video is part of my historical archival footage on file in Philadelphia and also at Duke University and the University of Vermont.
