the calm before the storm in 1981 !!
That "storm" was already there, prior to 1981. HIV infection was documented in the United States (mainly New York & California) since the 1970s.
The storm comes early at the end of 1979 and beginning’s 1980…
@@ambrethie3128 earlier than that. In 1981 people were coming down late stage AIDS. It take 5 to 8 years to have late stage AIDS. 1981- 4 or 8 years = 1973 or 1977.
@@Mr.Majestic77 You're absolutely right! My Uncle Bob lived in San Francisco. After World War II he got off the boat there and never left. He died in 1980, diagnosed with lung cancer. He had lesions on his body which the doctors said were just secondary infections but now I recognize as Kaposi Sarcoma. Before he passed he went blind and senile. No one ever discussed him being gay. Back then he was just a confirmed bachelor who came home to Illinois to die. I'd love to talk to men from San Francisco who knew him. He was 55 when he died so maybe there's someone in their 70s or 80s who remember him. I'm traveling there this summer and spending two weeks to see if I can find out more about his life.
@@kycowboys wow. My condolences. Imagine if the world in the early 1980s, researchers had in human clinical trials: [1] the American Gene Technologies' *AGT103-T* pending functional HIV therepy, [2] the Excision BioTherapeutics' *EBT-101* pending sterilizing HIV therapy, [3] the pre-exposure prophylaxis *PrEP* (Truvada/Cimduo), [4] the post-exposure prophylaxis *Pep* (tenofovir + emtricitabine combination), [5 ]Moderna's pending combined mRNA HIV Vaccines *mRNA 1644 (eOD-GT8 60mer mRNA) + mRNA 1644v2Core (Core-g28v2 60mer)* , as well as [6] researchers harnessing stem cells from donors with the *CCR5Δ32 gene mutation* , which could be universally utilized as a sterilizing cure for HIV?
So many MANY lives could have been saved. I mean millions.
The golden age of SF's gay community. We were fighting for our rights and after grueling struggles we were winning. It was the most incredible movement to be part of. So passionate about succeeding, we really had no choice but to win. I'm so proud to have been a part of it.
Ten years later, most probably dead.
My generation, my peers, my age.
I've lost them all.
Now I'm an old man. But my heart forever carries the memories and their faces ......
Blessed be my brother.
I would like to know why they didn't use condoms? Have you ever overheard a reason why?
@@ivanyaurima2564 When the virus was running rampant, no one knew it existed until too late.
@@ivanyaurima2564 ...uhm, duh, they couldn't get pregnant....... that was the main reason people would use a condom back in the day eh.
@@ivanyaurima2564 "why they didn't use condoms". How long would that last in the face of human needs for complete intimacy, a demand of Nature itself. Especially in worse and much lonlier, scarier times. And how else would Nature push past our fear to fulfill its purpose to succeed in it's survival to pass on the genetics of its fight against new pathogens, disasters and other things that have honed our behavioral genetics? Not by avoiding it forever, rather somehow as a species, meet it head on. We could also look at the adherence of mask wearing over the last few years. Doubt most people could handle it perfectly 15 years.
I was aware of San Francisco, and what was going on. I grew up in the 70’s and knew pretty much since I was 4 that I was attracted to men. Seeing James Franciscus in “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” confirmed it for me. I remember when Harvey Milk and Mayor Mosconey were assassinated. I came out after high school, after about a year my parents forced me to admit to them what they already knew. Thirty minutes later I was dragging a suitcase to a pay phone to call my boyfriend. It was a rude awakening, but I survived. In the fall of 1990, I met a wonderful guy. We dated through the winter, but in February of 91, I had a trip planned for my birthday. I wanted to see San Francisco. I debated taking my new boyfriend with me, but I thought it being only 4 months in, it was too soon. The other thing I left home............... condoms. I felt if I had them with me, it would be too easy. I arrived, checked in my B&B, and went to grab lunch. I was cruised in less than a block. I thought “this is weird”. That night I went for an early drink to surprise a good friend who moved to S.F. a few years earlier. He was bartending and didn’t know I was in town. He came on his shift and didn’t notice me for about 5 minutes. When I asked for another drink, his expression changed and he ran around the bar to hug me. I was so happy to see him, until I noticed he didn’t have the shiny smile, and bright eyes I remembered. It made me think the worst. He was so thrilled, he took a few days off and gave me the grand tour. We saw everything. The city was beautiful, he had a gorgeous apartment in an old Victorian with a view of the city. I thought he really was living the life. I didn’t dare ask if he was alright. When my trip was over, he asked if I needed a ride to the airport. I had already prepaid for a limousine, so we said our goodbyes that night. He was happy I was dating somebody I felt love for. In the next year we spoke a handful of times. He was so happy I surprised him. I found out several months later, he died. I was crushed. I’d never see him again. I still wish I could talk to him. I think he’d be happy my boyfriend is now my husband, and we’ve been together 32 years. I’ll always miss you Jeffrey Hackenberg.
Nice piece! In many ways this was the best time to be gay. The barriers are less today in many ways but coming out of the movements of the sixties it was a wonderful time.
Trash Queer
Thank you for sharing. This moved me to tears. I knew around age 5 that men had a curious appeal, especially men with well-developed buttocks! (That hasn't changed!) I grew up in the 1950s. Spent four years with USAF, '62 - '66. Two years later, May 1968, I met and came out with my first partner. We were partners for eight years and remained close friends until he died from AIDS in 1996. I lost a lot of friends to HIV/AIDS. Went to see the AIDS Quilt in DC in 1987. It was a terrible time for us, especially with Reagan's horrendous attitude toward gays, fueled by his ally Jerry Falwell. I fear a nasty storm is ahead for us, what with gay-haters now using the Super Bowl to promote Jesus. Sadly, we can never relax fully.
What a sad, but beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
What happened to him? AIDS? 😥
How nice to see my generation dancing at the old Trocadero Transfer again! I danced there so many times, packed in like sardines. I'll never forget those days! It makes me sad to know that today's generation will never feel as free as we did back then, fresh off of our victories, during gay liberation, and before the grim time of grieving, that came on it's heels.
I feel fortunate to still be surviving HIV/AIDS... 35 years later come this Dec 1st. So many memories in the late 70s - throughout the 80s, and much of it a blur. I lost two completely different circles of friends during that time. But, I'm an old(er) man now who is still amazed that I was around for the new millennium, and now in the 2020s. I'm grateful... most of the time.
This video was a wonderful step back into the past. I am very grateful …many young souls sadly lost. I am lone survivor out 8 college friends….
The muscles. The mustaches. The plaid shirts. I remember it all. It was a great time to be young and alive it in San Francisco.
That was when it was gay, not LgBTQA+. Today they'd be accused of "hegemonic masculinity"
Had my last drink and cigarette, at Toad Hall, on Castro, May 1980. Loved the two Mikes, the bartenders. Getting sober and staying sober, saved my life, but sadly, almost everyone I knew died. Forty four years, in SF. I left my heart there.
I was just this little kid, but I remember ridding my bike down the alley and watching one of our neighbors in his back yard practicing with two fans. He always noticed me watching and would throw them in the air, catch them everytime. He used to get a kick out of me clapping. I loved it.
I wasn’t OUT until much later but these men were my generation. I never lived in San Francisco but it was always the place like New York City. As a community, I think we knew it was our time and there was such a joy of unity and we no longer cared about what others thought of us. Into the eighties we started to get musical groups that were us singing to us and about us. Things are better today for so many but in retrospect, these were the best and the worst of times for us. Despite the scourge, it galvanized us into motion as a community. When I was a child, you felt truly alone and isolated but I knew one day things would be better. I hear The Castro is changing now and many others are starting to move in. That’s occurred in New York too. Everything changes and nothing lasts forever. Life is indeed short. Just do the best you can and be a good person.
Ahhh...... the mustaches! So glad to see that mustaches are finally making a comeback. I've kept mine constant ever since 1979 through every fashion trend. The nieces love it. 😊
in 1970, i was 9 years old when i felt in love with my french teacher ... Still remember him ! the majority of the gay guys in this video has sexy moustache .Thank you Kris and good luck to your channel.
sweet nostalgia. a more innocent time. i entered the 70’s at 14 y/o and exited at 24. i was in boston, not san francisco but it’s amazing how everyone took on the clone look. i was no different. work boots, jeans, plaid, and aviator sunglasses. i moved to sf in ‘88 but the magic of the 70’s had passed and was overshadowed by a big cloud. it was still an amazing city through the 90’s. i hope heaven looks like the castro in the 70’s.
So many young beautiful people 😔❤
This was my world. I even spotted my partner on the dance floor at Trocadero, a few years before we met and fell in love and lived together for a decade, before AIDS took him. I’m shook
Yes, the men were that attractive back then. And very few were fat. Yea, and the music was much better. The disco was exuberant
This brought me to tears. In the mid-70s I was still a teenager but was well aware and by 1979 I was in college and living a crazy life. When I look at this, I think of all the fun and then the disaster that followed. It’s hard to think where most of those beautiful men are now.😢❤❤❤
I am in the same boat as you are. During the late 1970s, I was a teenager, myself, and a lot of the people and friends I came out with are now "pushing up daisies" due to the very mean and nasty virus we know as AIDS that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of gay men. Tragically but the truth.
I was there with the rest of the clones, I was just a visitor, staying with friends. The 70s were magic, a party, a celebration, I couldn’t see my feet , the bell bottoms hide them. Nik Nik shirts , and platform shoes. Big ,gigantic curly hair, it was a energy that hasn’t been recaptured. A spell was cast, for the masses,nothing lasts , it’s in the past.
you're a poet Buzz! thanks for capturing some of that feeling for those of us that didn't get to be there. beautiful.
Why clones?
@@steelstreet3765 i think "clones" became a popularly used term amongst some at the time to describe all the gay men who had started to wear more masculine styles, the short haircuts the moustaches and beards, the flannel shirts and jeans...because the style was so endemic. it was a kind of put-down often used by those who had predated the era and had themselves been considered more effeminate/effete in their appearances (and thus more targeted by homophobes) so some saw the masc/butch affectations as a sell-out to seem more "straight". certainly, when everyone begins to look a bit the same it's hard to seem like an individual but that was perhaps part of the intention to be seen as a community. not that any of these fashions said anything about your actual persona--just an attempt to fit in with a type of crowd aesthetic. so yeah, everyone looking near identical it was easy to see how "clone" became used, lol! i'm surprised when Star Wars Chapter 2 ("Attack of the Clones") came out that no one did (or did they?) a porn version taking advantage of it but maybe cos it's seen as very much a thing of the 1970'-80's not many after that time are aware of the term.
@@jackfriend4u thanks. Ya seems very masculine I don't see this look much these days unless someone brought it back.
To all those who are now beautiful angels, Memory Eternal!
so many beautiful guys feeling free for the first time. i had to slow the speed down by half to enjoy it.
Brings back old memories from the late 70s of how it was back in the day Sad large dance Disco's clubs like this don't exist anymore, lost many friends in the early 90s due to Aids yet I am lucky to have survived it. Good Video
I remember this time and many absent friends
All that facial and chest hair. What heaven.
These days hair is considered ugly why to some?
You have to also think too. Testosterone levels were way higher in the past then they are now thanks to plastics and lack of exercise and all this other stuff.
In the 1970ies i was just a boy, 20 years later in 1991 and 1992 as a young student i fulfilled my dream and spent 4 weeks each time in SFO.
For me as a young gay man, coming from a little old medieval town in Germany, it was an impressive experience. Now 30 years later in my 50ies of age i see all things clearer and not through pink glasses. I got older, the gay scene changed, internet came and the golden age of gay movement and celebration for me is definetely over.
how much further on would we be without the storm. growing up in the mid/late 80's being petrified of it. these men were so beautiful.
Sadly most of these men are probably no longer with us
That’s what aides does to immoral queers.
probably just because of age but also because of irresponsible behavior. i do hope we have learned.
@@phillipkuhlman7468 At the time these images were recorded, no one had ever heard of AIDS. We know in retrospect that HIV existed then and was being unwittingly transmitted, but no one at the time was aware of the virus or the danger they were facing.
@@phillipkuhlman7468 how could it have been irresponsible behavior back then. In today’s world you can say irresponsible behavior, but not back then. But yea, I hope you have learned.
@@phillipkuhlman7468 In 2023 that's easy to say and judge. Honestly I think if they KNEW about the virus, what it was and how it was transmitted, they would have acted differently. No one knew what it was. No one had never seen anything like it before.
It's like watching a bustling Pompeii before the eruption. ☹
I had TWO gay uncles (James Wiggins and Claude Benboe, rip) that lived there in the 1970s. ❤❤
I wasn't there in the 70s but I visited in the 90s. Castro Street was more conservative (not politically or religiously) then but I still got to see a leather daddy walk down the street with his son on a leash. The Castro in the 70s must have been beautiful! 😍
Very nostalgic in nature. It takes me back to my younger days. My question is: How many of these men are still with us and not claimed by AIDS? That is the tragic part!
It brings back memories. I moved to San Francisco in February, 1976. I had visited often previous to this. I didn't catch myself in any of the pics but I could have been in some of the crowd scenes. It was all so wonderful.
These were the good ol' times.. when men looked like real MEN, hairy, unshaven, unplucked, unwaxed... manly! *sigh*
💯💯❤
Yes, dahlings, now THAT was the decade to end ALL decades! Ten years after Stonewall, we were in pig heaven, having an absolute BALL( well, hopefully, more than that). Gay and ALMOST carefree. Miss those days.
wonderful times of youth, first love, freedom, carefree. a completely different world, a different reality. thank you for these memories. Regards. ❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈❤🏳️🌈
TEARS, PAIN, LOVE, PRIDE, POWER GAY 💪💪💪❤❤❤🌈🌈🌈 !!!
It was a wonderful moment in time, we all know what was coming, but let's leave it at a fabulous time to be young and alive!
I keep coming back Kris. New York was a great time too and I noticed the last couple the guy on the left is wearing a “Stop Briggs” referring to the initiative attempting to ban gay & lesbian teachers which was introduced in 1977 and thankfully defeated on 11//7/1978 commonly known as Prop 6. Although I didn’t live in San Francisco but have visited many times, the real shock came when Milk & Moscone were gunned down later that month. These were good or times despite the Administration and inflation of the time. People look so happy and enjoying life. Shame a lot would change around the corner. Great musical choice so it’s 1977 or 1978.
Thanks for the reminders of the context of all this. We may be contemporaries, watching the great change of fortunes and the steady great spirit of the gay "community." How we took are of each other during the AIDS crisis that Prez Reagan refused to even acknowledge. Yup. I think we have done ourselves proud.
@@jamesrobiscoe1174 Yes, we did James. We addressed the call by ourselves essentially as we realized we were on our own since so many didn’t really care of our plight and woeful negligence on part of many societal organizations and government. First there was Stonewall and then we started to really galvanize when this scourge hit. In many ways, the seventies and eighties were the best and the worst of times for this community. We threw the chains off and knew our power was growing.
Beautiful men!
In the 70s It seemed people were more at ease and not uptight but just happy to be
Aaaahhhh....the good old days...before AIDS.....LIVE PROUD! LIVE STRONG! NEVER FORGET OUR LOSTS BROTHERS! Keep up the good fight!
I didn't live in SF but Houston TX in the 70s .. Hot times
Lived thru worrying about my two gay brothers then. Absolute nightmare. The are both still with us, i thank God everyday. Didn’t realize how scared the must have been, I just never thought it could happen to them. My heart breaks even toda for the trauma the suffered. I am their big sister.
Excellent video, I jus so LOVE IT, I TO WAS A LITTLE CURIOS QUEER BOY, I FOUND OUT I WAS A LITTLE GAY BOY MYSELF, IN THE 70S NOT KNOWING WHAT GAY WAS, BUT I CERTAINLY FOUND OUT AND I HAD MY FIRST GAY SEX EXPERIENCED WITH MY NEIGHBOR HE WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLDER THAN ME, I WAS BOUT 12 WHEN WE PLAYED, FROM THEIR ON I KNEW WHAT I LIKED AND WHAT I LIKED TO DO, & WITH ONLY MALES, THEN ONE DAY MY COUSIN IN COLO, TOOK ME TO A GAY COUNTRY WESTERN BAR IN DENVER, I FOUND OUT THEY'RE WERE GAY COWBOYS EVERYWHERE, I FELT I WAS IN HEAVEN WOW, THEN I FOUND OUT bout gay rodeo, I freaked out!!!!!

Saw a glimpse of myself. - a special time....
It's great to see buildings in this video that I recognize there today. Speaks to the depth and richness of that history. I hope no one does to this historic area anything like what they did to the first and historic gay area in Washington, DC - tore it down to build a stadium. I have great memories of both places.
I was there in 1968.Saved up my money and flew to San Francisco and hitchhiked back to rural SW Missouri.
so you are a survivor!
WOW! It's great seeing this before the flood can! Aprés mou, le deluge🎉
This looks about 1976-78.
I agree. In the early 70s, most guys had long hair, but that was before the Castro Clone, which was a very boring look - to go with the personalities of the people. I lived mostly in the Castro in the 70s and went to The Mineshaft (and later called Alfie's) during the week, but I went to The Stud on weekends for the Counter Culture crowd.
@@larsedikMust’ve been a great time to live in San Francisco. It was a beautiful city and community. New York during 1975-80’s was fun too.
So any men, so little time.
Perfectly put!
San Francisco? More like Clonesville!
Right, nothing like the individual gay men of today: overly muscled, tattooed, pierced, obsessed with positions
oles\dom\sub\agression\animals\thinking that every sexual encounter should be the reenactment of a porn scene. No clone behavior there at all.
Well no dragqueens are shown,but they were there entertaining the butch dudes who pretended to dislike fems but that's a whole other segway of society . Good footage ,music!

There were no black or Latino men in San Francisco in the 70’s. 😞
I can feel with you on that. It was an electric but very homogenized community sadly.
There were, but VERY far and even fewer in between, also sure some of the Latin men passed for white as well, just a wild guess though!
There were, just not in the Castro.
The Castro was filled with clones who had migrated primarily from the Midwest, and they had very boring personalities. The gay population of SF in the late 70s looked very much like the Midwest. There was a reasonable number of Italians from NY, and they were much more interesting. Most of my boyfriends were NY Italians, but some were Hispanic.
One can see a few men of color in this clip.
