Publications in the 50s routinely published ridiculous and cruel articles instructing the public on how to spot and turn in gays, and institutionalizing misinformation on how gays "threatened" society. In that environment, the newspaper should be ASHAMED to label anyone gay. Besides, in that environment, even Liberace could have been confused regarding his sexuality!
