  • Yorkshire Television have sent Alan Whicker Way Out West, where he made a feature called The Lord is My Shepherd and He Knows I’m Gay that horrified a lot of straight people for showing, you know, gays and stuff at 10.30pm, and also annoyed the homosexualists by treating us like zoo animals. Meanwhile, GLF was fighting with the Radical Gay Communards, who wanted GLF to be more… radical. A boycott of Berni Inns is narrowly avoided when a manager who said that they don’t cater to sexual deviants is immediately sacked. Just joking: a letter of apology was sent, but no action taken.
  • Reviews include the book The Fundamentals of Sex by Dr Philip Cauthery from Corgi, which is pleased that homosexuals cannot reproduce. In the cinema is The Adventures of Barry McKenzie and Cahill.

  • “Gay News did NOT move to 1 Paxton Road, Chiswick, as anticipated in GN33. Instead we are now at 62a Chiswick High Road, London W4 1SY. Phone number is 01-995 1958.” 
  • On page 7, Flamboys In Park Lane, Jean Fredericks is quoted as saying that Max Rahman is “a pre-operative sex change, on hormone treatment, but still a boy.” This will be subject to printed correction in the next edition – Max denies being trans.

  • Now He Tells Us – LONDON: Former Premiere [sic] Harold McMillan [sic] has “revealed” that at the time of the Lord Profumo [sic] sex scandal in 1963, “Soviet agents” exploited the situation, initiating accusations that “half the Cabinet” were involved in “perversion, homosexuality and the like.” – page 20

Inflation

To obtain approximate values for money allowing for inflation, times 1972 prices by 11.5; 1973 by 10.5; 1974 by 9; and 1975 by 7.5.

For instance, £1 in 1972 is £11.50 in today’s money.
