It was the gay nineties, that’s the 1890’s and not “gay” in its current meaning, when the first openly public support for homosexuality began by European intellectual elites.

See, Cathryn, here's still another historical view. Again, before the Sixties!

And the “sixties” in the article is referring to the sexual revolution and is accurate in doing so.

The "real" sexual revolution began in the Fifties, not the Sixties! The folks were like rabbits back in the Fifties.

That case can be made after every war ever fought and is more true in the late 40’s than it was in the 50’s. Historically the sexual revolution started in the late 60’s with the feminist movement…burning bras etc.

The 1950s had Hugh Hefner and Kinsey. A revolution needs its leaders.

LSD existed in the 1950s but it took Timothy Leary on the East coast and Ken Kesey on the West coast to make it an indulgence.
