Lesbian/Woman

Lesbian/Woman, p. 345-346 from your starting point on my talk page...

They suspected CBS was out to do a hatchet job. Sally Gearheart consented to an interview in New York that lasted 3 hours and 7 film packs. Sally protested George Crile's manipulative questions and guarded against saying anything that could be taken out of context. When CBS failed to include her in the documentary she was ecstatic. Diekhaus confessed later that lesbians were not presented because they were "not disturbing enough".

Mayor Dianne Feinstein, however, found their display of yellow journalism disturbing enough. She asked for three minutes of air time to reply to the hour-long show. CBS refused. The San Fransisco Board of Supervisors and the Human Rights Commission filed complaints with the National News Council and the National Gay Task Force (NGTF) took our grievances to the CBS home office in New York City. Gay journalist Randy Alfred documented more than 40 counts of deliberate misrepresentation and distortion. He testified in person before the News Council, which found that the program concentrated "on certain flamboyant examples of homosexual behavior" that tended to reinforce stereotypes, "exaggerated political concessions" to Gays that made them appear "to threaten public morals and decency," and failed to make it clear that the purpose of the homosexual demystification program in the schools was to reduce "the danger of harassment and violence by heterosexuals against homosexuals".
