Gay rights not yet won. Above all, “The Killg of Geie” rri what Stewart has lled “a pro-gay msage, ” as he put his 2012 tobgraphy, Rod.

Forty years later, what we might like to thk of as our own liberated days, progrs has unqutnably been ma on issu such as same-sex marriage and gay and transgenr rights.
