"Homosexuality versus Lesbianism"

I just completed viewing the movie, despite a a power failure. As far as I know, this is the very first time for me, that I've ever seen and heard, a person distinguish that males are, "homosexuals", and that females are, "lesbians". My reactions included, "Huh?!", and, "They don't know that the words, 'homosexual', 'homosexuality', et cetera, may be applied to males and females alike?!" Also, "Wait! Is this evidence of an error like that? Or, evidence that 'gay', wasn't in use just yet, to refer to male homosexuals?"

The article itself, has a line in it, using the word "gays", soon after using the word, "homosexuals", or is it, "homosexuality"?, as if the implication is that, "gay", has always been the word, when it hasn't been. I recall the 1970s, and how many people were having problems with accepting "gay", as a correct/preferred term. ("You're trying to tell me, that my Aunt Gay, is a male homosexual?!", &, "You're trying to tell me, that when Johnny came marching home, people weren't happy about it, but instead, wanted to become male homosexuals about it?!")

But my question is, are there other movies that have used those words in that context, or are there others, or, is this the only example, because it was mistaken in that context? LeoStarDragon1 (talk) 12:41, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

I see it more that they wanted to use the term lesbian but there is no males-only equivalent so thenuae the general term. Guessing you caught this on TCM Underground too? ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:28, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Sex Jungle

PfP includes a reading of a passage from this. I found https://books.google.ca/books/about/Sex_Jungle.html?id=f3OEYgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y saying it came out 1960 by Don Elliot.

I dont think we have an article on Don Elliot (author). Is potentially notable? If not then how did his book get chosen? Did the film make him notable?

Sadly no sample on Gbooks. ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:28, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

How is this film public domain?

It appears that it was made in 1965, and that it was made by citizens for decent literature inc. Is this an orphaned work? How is it that all the magazine images in it are also public domain? Was there no copyright notice on the film was it not renewed? I'm curious. Victor Grigas (talk) 03:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

The film does not have a copyright notice which was required of works published in the US before 1978. As for the images of the magazines, they were likely unable to defend themselves when this film was made. Verumregium (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
