Danny Says Page #2

promenade in Brooklyn Heights.

They said it was very cruisy so

we went up and looked at it.

You know...

- I'm 19,

- I graduated college,

And I stood there, and I did

everything he said they do.

Like, you look,

and you wink and nod, and all...

- It's like you do a silent.

- "Hello, sailor,

Would you like to come over?"

This is what they say!

Whoa!

- I felt compelled to tell him.

- On the way back to his house,

"I've never done this before."

Of course he said,

"Oh, it'll be all right."

(laughs)

- So I always thought.

- I would fall in love at Harvard,

But I didn't know how to fall

in love at Harvard Law School

where everyone was 23 and

wearing a suit and a tie.

No one had sat next to me

in Property

or Civil Procedure

that I wanted to go and have

a coffee date with.

So I had to call Keith.

"I haven't be able

to meet anyone like us."

I don't know what I said.

I don't know what word I used.

Homosexual, I guess.

"Are there homosexuals

in Boston?"

And he said, "Yes, there are

two bars in Boston,

The Punchbowl

and The Napoleon Club."

("Boys in the Back Room"

(by Marlene Dietrich plays)

I met people like Donald Lyons

and Hal Peterson

and Harold Talbot,

- real aristocrats.

- Of the mind and spirit.

I was in the 99th percentile

on the law school aptitude test,

no one could believe it

'cause I was flaky.

- I stopped going to class,

- it was so boring,

And I hung out with

a bunch of dissolute faggots,

shoplifted a lot,

charged a lot,

ran around Harvard Square

in a camel's hair coat

and f***ed a lot.

- That's what I always wanted.

- To do was f*** at Harvard.

- And I got a big chance to do it,

- so I did it.

- Coming back to.

- New York and moving.

To Greenwich Village where...

You know, I stayed in this hotel

and out the back window was

lesbians, literally,

having pissing contests.

- Really, you think.

- That's just a word,

But they really were doing it.

They would press

their pussies, pissies,

and see how strong

they could make it,

so they could pee further.

That's what it means, isn't it?

It's always what it means!

But dykes could do it too and...

Oh, God, welcome to.

Greenwich Village, so...

I had nine years of that

before the Stonewall.

Leee:
When I got to New York and

I met Danny and Jackie Curtis,

it was all gay,

but it wasn't homosexual.

It was really gay, I guess,

the definition of gay

was just ha-ha.

So what?

When you talk about.

Danny being out,

he was never in.

We never came out

to our parents,

what's the point of that?

Why would we want

to upset those old people for?

- (laughs)

- You know?

- We were okay, we don't have.

- To bother them with it.
