So this is our standard one-bedroom,
and it has a balcony.
We have not had any same-sex couples,
but we do have family members that are.
If there was, would they be accepted?
Because we are a couple.
They've been in my life since day one.
And they've always been Auntie Terry and Auntie Pat.
Didn't know they were gay till three years ago.
How long you been together?
-Sixty-five and a half. -Sixty-five and a half years.
All these years they've been together,
they've hid this secret from us.
Holy shoot. You were pretty cute, my dear.
They were playing baseball. Women didn't do that.
They had the courage to do something so different
in a time when difference was not looked on
as something good.
We always wore dresses, makeup. The whole thing.
Anybody who was not me, they simply didn't know.
I felt like I was sort of living a lie.
I love my mother, but she would have disowned me.
So you were pioneers in a time when it wasn't popular.
-That's right. -Exactly. In the '40s.
You had to be very careful.
Those were the days where bars suspected
of being lesbian bars were frequently raided.
They could be arrested and thrown in jail.
There are many stories about people
losing their jobs and committing suicide
as a ramification of the bar raids.
I think love is love and it's the most important thing.
What she means to me?
She means everything to me.
You were kind of breaking the rules back then.
Exactly.
You kind of broke the rules your whole life.
Yes, I have.
That's why I'm happy.
No regrets.
I'd do it all over again.
