When Hector Black was born in 1925, the phrase gay rights didn't even exist.īLACK: The word gay was never even mentioned, or even homosexual. Same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states. SHAPIRO: 2015 was a revolutionary year for gay rights. All I knew was that I was attracted to men. SHAPIRO: Did you even have a word for it?īLACK: No, no word for it at all. HECTOR BLACK: I felt like I was nobody in the whole dang world - was a weirdo like me. So we decided to talk to him about his life anyway. But he hasn't written one yet, and he's 90 years old. If Hector Black had written an autobiography, we would interview him about it.
