It was considered a mental illness or deviancy, so there was a huge stigma associated with it. For the first two seasons, Sal was closeted, although there were instances when men made overtures towards him. He never took the bait and eventually, he started dating and eventually married this woman named Kitty. But then, the facade began to slip, like when he invited Cosgrove home for dinner; clearly he was more into Cosgrove than Kitty. Then, in season three, he and Don went on a business trip together. Per usual, Don proceeded to cheat on a pregnant Betty and Sal was getting the eye from a young bellhop. The bellhop came to Sal's room under false pretenses and needless to say, things got gropey. Unfortunately for Sal, the fire alarm went off and Don utilized the fire escape that happened to be situated next to Sal's window. Don didn't see anything too incriminating, but it was enough to get the gist. And on the plane ride home, Don implied that he will never mention what went down between Sal and the bellhop. However, Sal caught the eye of Lucky Strikes Jr., who kept cornering Sal and pressing him to service him. Sal rebuffed Lucky Strikes Jr.'s advances; Lucky Strikes Jr. got mad and demanded that Sal be fired. Don told Sal to lay low, but when Lucky Strikes Jr. saw that Sal was still around, he spat fire, threatening to close his account. Roger got mad that Lucky Strikes Jr. wasn't happy and ordered Sal out. When Sal asked Don to intervene, Don got mad and said something about 'you people', which sort of implied that Sal didn't have a right to object to Lucky Strikes Jr.'s sexual advances. And with that, Sal was out. Along with hiding his sexuality, Sal also felt compelled to 'make good' since his parents were Italian immigrants, therefore the facade was very important to him.

She is the main character who gives us insight into what it was like for a career-driven woman in that period. She will still be in the show. You could argue that there isn't much further for her to go now at SCDP, in terms of interest . She's in a rut, and so is her character's storyline. By leaving, we get to see her try to make it in a new firm, and the issues that arise while proving to strangers, (incl her subordinates), that she deserves to be there. I agree.

I have a soft spot for Ginsberg. Yes he has a dark side but I like to think that makes him deep rather than evil :) Oh geez I hope not. I have a soft spot for Ginsberg.

He didn't feel overly "lost" (I filled him in here and there)and became totally engrossed by the ambiance of MM. I think MM is so visually stunning that you can pick it up and enjoy whenever. A harder series to follow would be Breaking Bad. THAT you really need to see the pilot to understand. I’ve been watching MM since the beginning but my husband only got hooked last season.

Young = not understanding the 60s. Call me “young” and naive but why did Sal have to go because he was gay from the show I mean.
