Bumping/resurrecting this thread from a few years ago. Members my age use to post about great times here from their experiences in the 70s. The 1970s were some of the greatest times in my life. In the past year, I have revisited people and times I haven't thought of in more than 30 years. Feels good. In the 1970s, I met Joel Grey, saw Bette Midler, and met Marvin Gaye and Grover Washington Jr. I entered a career in broadcasting at 17, my favorite movie was Chinatown, and I came out at 16 and never looked back. In the 70s, I discovered my maleness...long before any of this politically-correct/labeling shit; none of this bullshit is new to me, I'm just a natural male . I started deep street shit before half of you were in diapers frequenting underground bars. I had one affair after another in my youth. I was vocal then and I'm a forerunner and pioneer in vocalizing my sexuality during a decade when it was considered taboo and unheard of. I was the first in my community to be open about my male sexuality blowing away my upper-class family and the majority of the gay community when shit like this belonged to men only. Fuck that, I turned heads and created controversy. The parties and sex were endless; balls for days with fun that lasted for 20 years. I spent 12 years in broadcasting stemming from the mid-70s. The 70s were the best times of my life and I formed life-long friendships in the 1970s that I hold today.
