As a print journalist of 35+ yrs., having worked in both the gay & mainstream media, I think it's important that this classic film about Nazi Germany be seen by ALL students in high school & junior highs.
I've lost track how many times I've seen this outstanding movie, but remain spellbound at the brief but powerful portrayals by both Judy Garland & Montgomery Clift (in real life, a gay man.) I'm sure he took the role, knowing the truth about the thousands of gay men killed in the concentration camps. ("Bent" is the successful Broadway play about this subject, based on the book "The Men With The Pink Triangle.") So many different types of people found themselves on the Nazi lists for death. They started with the most vulnerable, the sick & elderly, worked their way through the so-called "undesirables" like the mentally ill, disabled, political enemies, nuns, priests.
As a gay man in the year 2006, I remember ALL the victims of the camps. Especially my gay brothers who wore the Pink Triangles. It CAN happen again, has since. NEVER FORGET!!!
