I have a TV Guide for the week of January 25-31, 1964 (New York Metropolitan Edition). On Friday of that week (January 31), talk show host Les Crane was listed as the moderator of a live show on
which "[t]he subject of homosexuality is discussed." The guests on that show included "a psychologist, a writer on homosexuality and a member of the Mattachine Society, a homosexual organization."
I would love to see a video of that nearly 50-year-old program if only to compare and contrast the attitudes expressed on the air at that time with those of today. There's no doubt that we've progressed on the subject considerably. If I looked hard enough, I might find the show archived on YouTube.
