Pride is over. July is Gay shame Month and Skirt Chasers Local is hosting.
What are we supposed to do with the skeletons in our closets? You know them- the self hating homosexuals, the loathsome creatures who bring it onto themselves. The ones we’re embarrassed by, who give us a bad reputation?
In anticipation of Skirt Chasers Local issue #3: Gay Shame Month, we’re bringing you some of our favorite negative depictions of homosexuality and exploring the origin of shame and its consequences.
In Basil Dearden’s Victim (1961), set in early 1960s London, a closeted lawyer risks his career to bring a blackmailer to justice.
