Martin Duberman on Growing Up Gay
Duberman's memoir "Cures" is about growing up gay in the 1950s before the gay liberation movement and at a time when homosexuality was considered deviant behavior by the psychiatrists. Since our 1991 interview with him, he's authored a number of books, including "Stonewall" and "Midlife Queer." After ten years, he has stepped down from the position of executive director of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies. However, he continues to remain active in the organization, writing articles, in which, among other things he defends multiculturalism and identity politics. (Originally aired 5/20/91)
