I remember the first time I saw him, in the movie "Call Of the Flesh". He was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. And in the silent film 'Across to Singapore" he was bewitching. I'm still in love.
How tragic it was when one was a homosexual back in "the day" when it was considered a mental disturbance.
How those people suffered and considered themselves to be ill as well.
Thank God that today it's starting to be an accepted thing. I would assume within maybe 50yrs. it just might be considered as something to be thought of as normal.
When for certain the "old die hards" are long gone it'll be far better.
Today there are still too many bigots and their off springs around to clear this homophobia away forever. That will take some time. BUT, it's so far better than it was yrs. back.
And only common sense tells one that it's been going on from the very beginning of man.
He was so beautiful. I'm sorry he suffered such a tragic ending.
