2. Campus activism and the gay movement in 1978, an interview with Bert Hansen on local television in Binghamton, New York. At this time, I was teaching courses on the history of science and medicine in the History Department of SUNY-Binghamton (later renamed Binghamton University). I was fully out on campus, where I was invited to speak at freshman orientation and received many off-campus invitations through the university's press and community affairs office, such as a luncheon talk at the local Kiwanis Club and this TV interview. At that time we didn't yet have a student gay and lesbian group, but the Broome County Gay Alliance met on campus and included students.
