Your piece made me recall my reaction to the 1982 film "Making Love", with Harry Hamlin. I was married at the time and made a covert trip from the Santa Barbara area down to Santa Monica (on my own) to see the film in a theater there. I remember the crowd getting VERY loud and actually laughing when the M/M kiss scene happened...I was miserable knowing that I was THE married/closeted guy in the film (Michael Ontkean). Really hard for me to watch then, but a much-loved classic for me now.
