Lamonte commented about 42nd Street - Cruising the Deuce on Aug 23, 2006 at 9:51 am

During the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s the old movie theaters on 42
street were a wonderful location for Gay men to meet up with other Gay men and enjoy what has been going on since recorde history..
Men having sex with other men. Thousands or more of us had sexual pride and when nature supplied natural arousal, we could count on being sexually relieved. Hey, I met a guy who became my lover for the next 12 years. (Not bad, huh!) Later, we knew that AIDS did
not come from having sex…but from a virus. We had been having
gay sex all our lives. Why don’t they bash the virus and stop bashing human sexuality? We all know, by now, how to practice
safe sex. Besides, the strongest urge for all living creatures is
the sex drive. Without it each species would disapear. Nobody is
just going to say “No.” But, now that those wonderful theaters
are gone we find other ways to be alive. Sure do miss those old cavernous theaters, though.
