Those Others: Navigating the "Riddle of Homosexuality" in 1965 - Paperback

by Joe Openshaw (Author)

1965 was a turbulent year in Washington DC, as well as in Alabama. During that year the Washington Post published a series of articles about homosexuality. Imagine being a young man struggling with his sexual orientation in DC in 1965. Resources were non-existent. Michael, a young man in Washington trying to find direction, uses these articles as well as the words of civil rights icons to guide him, and discovers love along the way. The articles from the Washington Post, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech in Montgomery following the Selma to Montgomery march, are reproduced at the end of the book.
