The first use of the phrase “heterosexual identity” appeared in ''The New York Times'' on December 10, 1972, in a report about the responses of the all-male cast of an amateur theater company in Yorktown Heights, Westchester County, New York, to putting on a production of  ''The Boys in the Band''.


:Most of the actors stress their real-life heterosexual identity when they greet the audience after each performance and in their references to their wives and children in the program notes.<ref>[Anonymous.] Special to the New York Times. “A Homosexual Drama Enlightens Actors.” ''New York Times'', December 10, 1972,  page 108.</ref>
