If you enjoyed this presentation, be sure to check out my website, The Digger Archives, dedicated to keeping people’s history alive. To end this video, I want to play an excerpt from a song* that embodies the sentiment that Leo Laurence first announced in his Vector editorial half a century ago, “Individual homosexuals must open up and honestly accept their own homosexuality. Say you’re gay at work, at home, church, wherever you go.” The next screen is a listing of some references for anyone who wants to follow up on the sources for this talk.

*A short excerpt of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” played over the last slide.
