Minute 30:00 onwards, Tatchell talks about what life was like for gays in 1970's London.

"There were no openly gay people at all in public life... queer bashing was unchecked.. police weren't interested..."

"It's almost incredible to believe that, right up to the mid1970's, in the UK, there were leading psychiatrists and medical practitioners who advocated electric shock aversion therapy to "cure" homosexuality. This therapy involved strapping a gay man into a chair, wiring him up with electrodes, and then showing him images of naked or partially clothed men. And giving him electric shocks."
