‘Naked homophobia’: play revisits BBC’s first programme on gay men in 1950s
Original script from 1954 referring to ‘troubles of this kind’ to be brought to life on stage for LGBT+ History Month
“All the homosexuals I’ve known have been extremely eager, like alcoholics, to spread the disease from which they suffer,” the barrister Lord Hailsham told the BBC in 1954.
Other contributors to the BBC’s first ever programme on male homosexuality largely agreed. A Church of England moralist warned any “invert” who may have been listening in of “transitory attachments, disillusionment and loneliness in his old age”.
