There are condemnatory references to homophobia, racism, sexism and HIV/AIDS status discrimination in the 1970s and 1980s. An interviewee briefly describes experiencing a violent homophobic attack. Discriminatory language includes a use of the term ‘faggot’ in reported speech, in addition to reclaimed use of terms such as ‘fairy’, ‘fag’ and ‘sodomite’.
