I saw this doc on DVD, and a lot I wasn't aware of. I didn't know he had out-of-the-closet boyfriends, even though Roy wasn't. Maybe he paid them hush money to keep silent about his sexuality. Wallace Adams was one boyfriend that was interviewed, and then there was Peter Frasier that was mentioned, but not interviewed. I do remember his part - or a character named for him - in the movie 'Citizen Cohn.' I thought that was a made up character because no way could Roy Cohn have a boyfriend hanging around his hospital bed. I figured his life was more like what was presented in 'Angels in America' where he didn't have any close friends while on his deathbed, much less a boyfriend.
