|---|---|---|
| 1964 | The Beatles refused to perform at Jacksonville's Gator Bowl unless the audience was integrated. The band's position was that they would not play to a segregated audience, and the concert went ahead only after assurances that Black and white spectators could attend together. | Source |
| 1965 | A 1965 Playboy interview contains repeated use of the slur “queer” by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and John Lennon while discussing homosexuality. The exchange was partly framed as joking banter, but the language itself is unambiguously derogatory by modern standards. | Source |
