Mike Enders interviewed gay legend Peter Berlin in 2014 at Peter's home in San Francisco accompanied by friend Eric Smith. Berlin asked not to be seen on camera. This interviewed was deleted by Youtube because it was said to go against policy; "We've taken a careful look at your channel again, and confirmed that it violates our Nudity and sexual content policy. We recognize it’s disappointing news, but our goal is to keep the YouTube community safe and supported."

Enders was able to recover the interview recently and thought it be important to share. It contains great insight into the life of the "icon, artist, photosexual, Peter Berlin. Now 82 years old.
