Kitty, it is a very good archive although I'm not sure if our friends in the US can access it.
Link works for me... awesome find! I wish that the US would get over itself when it comes to gay rights. I don't understand the people that have a problem with gay marriage, for example, but I could go on for hours if I get started.
LTH, sometimes the BBC restrict their videos to the UK, but you can get quite a sense of the progress just by looking at the program summaries starting from way back when!
Fascinating stuff. It is wonderful how far we've come in a relatively short time.
It's just sad we have had to come so far.
Simon, I'm glad we've got as far as we have. Partly very selfishly: gay rights are human rights and women have a better deal now too.
Phoenix, I was a bit shocked to be reminded where we'd come from.
