Join Dene in the Cheap Seats we as go back in time to 1958 to listen to what is believed to be the first ever radio broadcast to openly discuss homosexuality in the United States.
The compare is Elsa Knight Thompson and the panellists are:
- Hal Call, the editor of the Mattachine Society’s newsletter, the Mattachine Review
- Blanche Baker, a psychologist noted for her then-rarely-shared belief that homosexuality was not an abnormality nor an illness, and
- Leah Gailey, the mother of a gay man.
