The gay activist, historian and sociologist Jeffrey Weeks is interviewed about gay law reform.CCJun 7, 1980
- 13. Male SexualityFrom clubbers at Heaven and cruisers on Hampstead Heath to academics and journalists, gay men offer their candid views on sex and relationships. They give a brief history of cruising, rue the dashed hopes of Gay Lib, and, most interestingly, critique the goal of emulating the traditionally masculine ideal of the heterosexual man, a self-loathing trait still prevalent among gay men today.CCJun 16, 1980
