PSYCHODRAMA: AN EXPERIENTIAL STUDY OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS WITHIN THE HOMOSEXUAL SOCIETY

Abstract

In the Spring of 1973, I first learned of the oppression of the homosexual society in Denver. In this incident a bus known as the "Johnny Cash Special" was being used by the vice squad to lure gays into the bus; the driver would then sexually proposition the homosexual. When acquiescence occurred the vice officers, hiding in the rear of the bus would emerge, identify themselves, and make an arrest. In the duration of these incidents using the bus, scores of homosexuals were harassed and jailed; some being held for an unreasonable length of time.
