Perry Brass and Karla Jay were active members a group lled Gay Liberatn Front, which was a big activism group New York at the time, and also published magaz like Come Out and Rat and many more.

So for the sake of this panel I've been volved wh the Gay Prs om 1970, worked on Fag Rag Boston, Gay Communy News, and now I unexpectedly and weirdly teach at Harvard as a Profsor of Activism the Media and Women Genr Studi. And I wrote for a number of early newspapers, cludg Rat, Subterranean News, Woman News, and I was the East Coast Corrponnt of The Lbian Ti, and I wrote for dozens of gay and lbian newspapers around this untry and abroad.

NEWS OF THE COLUMB GAY AND LBIAN COMMUNY

By the time I was 19 I'd pleted a novel that was blatantly homosexual and I was told that the only way uld be published would be if I changed the genr and have the characters to the oppose sex. After that some of my wrgs started to appear other gay papers, and I was clud Ian Young's groundbreakg anthology, The Male Me, which was the first anthology of gay poetry, openly gay poetry the English language. So durg this early perd of my life my wrg was very much a part of this I thk wonrful movement towards what we now ll LGBT liberatn, but those days we simply jt lled gay liberatn.

GAY

I sort of always wrote, I wrote high school, I wrote for the high school newspaper, I wrote for the town paper when I beme volved gay liberatn '69, when I moved to Boston 1971 and got volved wh gay men's liberatn, which was our versn of GLF, and immediately began workg on a magaze lled, or a newspaper lled Fag Rag, which was probably the first natnal non-news foced, bee Come Out was more news foced. >> And basilly I wrote for them and then I began wrg for Gay Communy News, which was the first natnal lbian and gay newspaper wh wi distributn which lasted for about 20 years. I was wrg somethg the other day for a magaze and I me up wh this le, right, that the purpose of the gay liberatn movement was to save liv, and the way that I uld save liv was actually by dog layout, dog typettg and wrg, right, and so was radil femism, so was black power movement, right?

>> Well, I thk before I talk about that I'd really like to jt talk about the qutn I get often is what did the Gay Liberatn Front acplish, bee this go to very much our publitns. We had this wonrful thg lled the Gay Flgs Packet that we sent out hundreds of pi of material, rmatn om our publitns all over the untry, so that people who had no accs to let's say our newspaper or to our meetgs they uld learn about . There was, we had splter groups that me out om also, one of them was are lled Third World Gay Revolutn that was like the first, I should jt say basilly gay group of people of lor, they did publitns.

>> We had a really big obstacle and the biggt obstacle that we faced as revolutnari 1969 as we me out of the ash of the Stonewall uprisg, figuratively, was that newspapers, mastream newspapers would not e the word gay. All of the ads there were for bars, and there is some evince that the Genove crime fay wanted to ntrol this new burgeong gay prs so that we wouldn't say thgs that would shut their bars down, ala Stonewall.

GAY NEWSPAPERS

And that up Boston, right, that we started Fag Rag and then Fag Rag spawned pretty quickly Good Gay Poets, which began puttg out poetry books and broad sis and then also Fag Rag books, and then out of them me Gay Communy News, right? >> But when you say do yourself, right, I mean we -- Fag Rag books published a book lled Wchcraft the Gay Counterculture, which now seems sort of crazy to me, but part of was Fag Rag, but we published the book and was done on my kchen table all the way out, right?

But there were the ltle papers all over the untry -- The Detro Gay Liberator and the Washgton Bla, and there was one South Florida, they were jt everywhere you went, the ltle newspapers sprang up jt everywhere.

Mastream New York Cy, big ticket publishg was jt like blank for the most part, I mean you had some paperbacks that me out, but the ia that you were gog to have a big gay book, that did not e out until towards the end of the 1970s. So you had this perd of about maybe six years where the gay and lbian prs was flourishg and if you wanted to know about what was gog on our world you would do through this prs and the prs was there for the muny, was a plete part of the muny. And the three big gay books were, well, one of them was Tal of the Cy by Armistead Mp, the send one was Dancer From the Dance by Andrew Holleran, and then was Fagots by Larry Kramer.

GAY MEN UNR THE NAZI REGIME

>> In my first book, Out of the Closets, Voic of Gay Liberatn, which I eded wh Alan Young, that was published '72, but we started llectg the material om the Gay Liberatn Front.

But we did get all of this stuff then out there, you know, we got all of the articl, many of which had appeared as maniftos or e out early gay prs out there onto newsstands this book as a pocket paperback, and that was kd of revolutnary jt to get out there to people. And as a sellg pot they clud the fact that John Lennon let them e a drawg, so was like John Lennon, the anthology is simply lled Gay Liberatn, but anythg to jt get the thg out there. And I don't blame them bee when you went to the public library and they photopied, remember you ed to have like a rd and they'd photopy your rd and there was somethg they'd photopy, they kept rerds of every book you read, and people somehow knew this and they were aaid to take books out of the library that had the word gay , certaly.

They were seen as beg amatr suatns, they were seen as jt simply, quote, gay and that's , that was always like when you e the G word 's like a ad end, which was horrible and aga ternalized homophobia. A man, a unarian mister named Randy Gibson lerally opened up the Charl Fu [assumed spellg] meetg hoe to be the Center for gay publishg and gay events Boston and he was totally heterosexual.

Bis New York Public Library are other librari and Yale and universi prervg a lot of this documentatn that go back to the '60s, '50s and '40s of gay and lbian, transgenr stori that people wrote?
