Tea And Sympathy And The Question Of Homosexuality
The writer argues that Tea and Sympathy misses the core issue by focusing on a wrongly labeled boy rather than addressing the real problem of what to do about a boy who is homosexual and how society should respond. He recalls growing up on the East Side, the red light district, and the taboo around sex, noting how discreet discussion shaped attitudes and suggests that home instruction mattered more than street hints in shaping youth.
