The Rejected was originally produced by KQED for National Educational Television (NET) – the predecessor of WNET – and first aired on September 11th 1961, on KQED Ch.9 in the Bay Area.
Introduced by KQED’s General Manager James Day, The Rejected was the first ever U.S. televised documentary about homosexuality, broadcast on September 11th 1961. Originally titled ‘The Gay Ones’, The Rejected had a budget of $100 and was filmed mostly in the KQED studio, except for one scene shot on location at the Black Cat Bar in San Francisco (710 Montgomery Street). This film is comprised of varied discussions about sexual orientation from: Margaret Mead (anthropologist); Dr. Karl Bowman (former President of the American Psychiatric Association); Harold Call, Donald Lucas and Les Fisher of the Mattachine Society; San Francisco District Attorney Thomas Lynch; Dr. Erwin Braff (Director of San Francisco’s Bureau for Disease Control; Al Bendich; Mr J. Albert Hutchinson and Mr. Morris Lowenthal (who engage in debate); Bishop James Pike and Rabbi Alvin Fine. This film was written by John Reavis Jr., produced by Reavis Jr. and Irving Saraf, directed by Dick Christian and features location photography by Philip Greene. Note that Professorial Lecturer of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at American University Bob Connelly wrote an informative article about the making of The Rejected for Advocate.com.
The Library of Congress states that there were several problems with the edited 2-inch quad videotape master. Many different tape stocks were used to create this program and the quality of these was often poor. The audio quality is consistent throughout but there are three extended sequences – noted onscreen by subtitles – which feature bad picture quality. If any archives, libraries or individuals have a better copy of this program in their possession, please let us know.
We’d like to thank WNET and the Library of Congress for collaborating with the TV Archive in making this program available. WNET deposited 2-inch video masters of ‘The Rejected’ with the Library of Congress. The Library’s Recording Laboratory remastered these 2-inch tapes onto digital, QuickTime masters and WNET agreed to let us stream the compressed screener footage in DIVA. The TV Archive provided funding and coordination for this access project. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
