This week, we begin our look into Mart Crowley and his breakthrough play "The Boys in the Band" in a slightly offbeat way. Mart's life and times, and Dunne's role within the creation of the play and the movie version are essential parts of this investigation, but here in the beginning of these episodes, we are wandering back to LOOK Magazine from December 2, 1969 with a piece by Jack Star titled "A Changing View of Homosexuality", which takes the pulse on what the current feeling is among folks. What was the vibe about gays in 1969? You may be surprised in a few ways as we set the stage for this pioneering work and the man behind it.
