   I moved their in the early 1980s.  Taught in public schools, and a   
   business school very near Times Square.   
      
   This was towards the end of the NYC scene you saw in "Midnight   
   Cowboy", but 42nd Street and Times Square were as squalid as you saw   
   in the film. I lived a fairly wild lifestyle in those days even   
   thought I was a teacher.  And I was young.   
      
   Mayor Rudolph Giuliani became the mayor in 1994, and he started   
   cleaning the area up.  I had moved away in the late 1980s due to   
   burnout.   
      
   I don't know anything about the "homosexual agenda", but you could   
   find whatever you wanted, and you didn't have to look too far.
