THE UPSTAIRS LOUNGE FIRE: WHEN DOZENS OF GAY PEOPLE WERE KILLED 1973

* upstairs downstairs gay *

'A Suable Marriage' was 'Upstairs, Downstairs'' first of several 'skirmish' wh homosexualy. Here, Elizabeth after breakg a prev engagement wh the rather 'tame' Ang McAllister, be attached to 'Baron Von Rimmer' - a gay German. However; behd the scen, he is not what he seems - on several levels; one of which is a gay man more terted the sister footman om Eaton Place 'Aled'!

Strangely; our next enunter wh homosexualy would also volve Elizabeth yet aga, when she meets, falls love, and marri a gay Poet four years episo troduc the Bellamy's long-standg and clost iend: 'Lady Pnce Fairfax' - marvelloly played by the actrs Joan Benham. I am not surprised, however, that the current reviews are upset over the treatment of homosexualy.

I might add that much of the same plat is beg ma of Downton Abbey that the gay character, Thomas, hasn't been given more screen time or story le. A homosexual or bisexual German baron gas entry to the Bellamy hoehold, enars himself to Elizabeth, and fally mak off wh Aled. My major objectn to this story is that, though reflected attus towards homosexuals at the time, is rather tic and sultg.
