And so then I hopped it.

Next thing, the police are after me.

The girl thinks she's pregnant

and they're taking me to court

for breach of promise and that.

They took me to court

and then it all came out,

that I was a girl.

(Reporter) No cure has yet been found

for the homosexual condition.

Perhaps none ever will,

but I asked homosexuals

if they would still choose

to remain homosexuals

if they had the opportunity to change.

No.

The society being what it is,

I would be heterosexual.

If you could live life all over again

and could choose,

would you choose to be homosexual?

Not unless it was thrust upon me

as it has been...

by the fact that I am,

and there is nothing I can do about it.

Heaven knows I've tried.

No, there's absolutely no advantage

in being a homosexual

in a heterosexual world, obviously.

And there's no happiness, really.

J" You just want to live your life

J" The best way you know how

J" But they keep on telling you

J" That you are not allowed

J" They say you are sick

J" That you should hang your head in shame

J" They are pointing fingers

J" And want you to take the blame J"

- A brain specialist?

- Psychiatrist.

I thought as much.

You want to psychoanalyse me, don't you?

You want to look inside my brain,

see the wheels go around!

Now, wait a moment...

(Man) To dissect me like a guinea pig

then show me off

to your distinguished colleagues

as an interesting case.

Now that's fit, isn't it?

(Decker) Hardly, but it's possible

that I may be able to help you.

Perhaps you'll have a case

to make your complexes stand on end.

You can write a big fat book about it!

(Laughter)

J" This pain

J" It is a glacier moving through you J"

(Reporter) Doctors,

more than most people,

should perhaps understand

what causes men to be homosexual.

This man is a doctor,

but he is also a homosexual.

It just makes you feel

you might just as well be in prison,

'cause it's a sort of prison anyway.

- Do you think you need help?

- (Man) Yes, I do.

I think every homosexual needs help.

Homosexuality is one manifestation

of a failure to fully develop.

- (Reporter 2) Does your mother know?

- Yeah.

What does she think?

She just thinks it's disgusting.

She can't accept it.

J" So don't you become paralysed with fear

J" When things seem particularly rough J"

(Reporter)

Did you find it hard to come to terms

with the fact that you are a homosexual?

Yes, from when

I was about 16, until about...

20, 22 or 23.

The whole of that time,

it was associated in my mind with guilt,

sordid matters...

elderly, unpleasant men.

J" Don't you pay them f***ers

As they say, "No, never mind"

J" They don't give two shits about you
