WHEN HOLLYWOOD STUDS MARRIED OFF GAY STARS TO KEEP THEIR SEXUALY A SECRET

The founr of Silent Gays is Jim Marjoram (the thor of "It's Life Jim..."), a gay man who has sought eedom om homosexualy all his life, only to disver was OK all along! * silent gay *

His ltle llectn of newspaper notic of gay men's suicis begs to make more & more sense to him. For an "enlightenment" film this wasn't all that enlightened, & dangeroly close to a plea for tolerance of perasty rather than homosexualy between nsentg adults. Still, for such a relic on the ted si, the film's assertn that "only ignorance or bigotry" would disapprove of homosexualy was bold for s day.
