Right when it matters most

Two men stand at the rail of a whaling ship, fourteen months from home. One of them finally says the thing he has carried the whole voyage. Julian's voice goes quiet.

And on YouTube, that is where the ad plays.

In the Archive it never does. Every story plays from the first word to the last, with nothing in between.

Then there are the stories Julian has never told on YouTube. New, full-length stories of men the history books skipped, pieced together from the same letters, court records and ship logs, told only to pass holders. Their names waited a long time to be spoken again. With a pass, you hear them first.

Members only: new stories you won't find anywhere else

Full-length stories written only for pass holders and never posted on YouTube. The same research, the same care and Julian's voice, for your ears only.

“These stories are priceless.”

“It made me remember being 19… Now at 64 I have a lifetime of memories to look back on, and even though I’m alone, I too am still here, a survivor of my generation.”

Manuel, 64

“Had a boyfriend who dressed windows at Franklin Simon, NYC, in the late ’60s. Nostalgic trip for me. Thank you for this memory. I am 80 years old now.”

Listener, 80 · Tennessee

“Sad story, but they found each other at the end. I spent 45 years alone, but now I have found the man of my dreams… Thank you for a sad but wonderful video.”

Johnny

“Breaks my heart… I knew so many guys had it so different. All the boys who fled the Midwest and the South… thrown out at 14.”

Mark · California

“Another captivating Gay Timeline video… In a sensitive, caring way, it introduced me to gay life in Japan I never knew existed.”

Tracy · Toronto

“Thank you for this beautiful commentary… Ceylon was an escape for gay planters. Some never returned, others returned but never got over it.”

David · on the Ceylon story
