Farrah Fawcett just didn’t do it for Sean Flyr. He tried, he really tried. That icon of ’70s gorgeousness did nothing for the teenage Flyr as he stared at that famous poster hoping it would thrill him just a little.
It didn’t. And that’s when he knew.
Flyr, 43, of Madison, is one of 16 people telling just that kind of story on the Cinemax documentary “When I Knew,” which airs at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. The film features men and women who recall the moment in their lives — as kids, high schoolers or grown adults — when they realized they were gay. It is also airing on Cinemax on Demand throughout the month.
