REMEMBERG LGBT HISTORY: FAIRI, POGU, AND TWO-WAY ARTISTS: GAY INTY THE WORLD WAR I ERA

But also as a history nerd, i also am aware that this word has been ed medieval & Renaissance tim to talk about anyone who intified as gay/ lbian (or LGBTQ+ general). LGBT is still a popular term ed to discs genr and sexual mori, but all GSRM are wele beyond lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people who nsent to participate a safe space.

WHEN FUTURE GENERATIONS look back on gay liberatn’s role the greater creatn of human nscns, and what ias helped shepherd civilizatn om s most primive tennci to more noble evolutnary possibili, they will, my opn, have to spend substantial time studyg the Radil Faerie movement, which was lnched 1979. They will fd particularly rmative, I image, to see how two petg historil acunts would emerge about who the Faeri were and what beme of them: one gay-centered and psychologil, the other seemgly gay-centered but vertly anti-psychologil, foced on a sentimental and revanchist portrayal of how the Faeri were formed.

The Radil Faerie movement is historilly important bee was the first large-sle effort to anize gay-intified men on an digenoly homosexual spirual basis, unlike gay synagogu, church, and so on, which rely on heterosexist mythologi and dogmas. At early Faerie gathergs, gay men me together as never before, as Harry Hay put , “to throw off the ugly green ogsk of hetero-imatn to fd the shg Faerie prce beneath. ” This unique cultural effort cultivated a profound gay-centerg tert—the notn of an endogeno Gay Spir—wh our overall eedom movement.

This has crystallized over the last thirty years to an ongog tradn of homosexually-foced spirual activi and lerature (e. The Faerie movement was anized prcipally by three dividuals: Harry Hay (-founr of the Mattache Society 1950), Don Kilhefner (-founr of the Los Angel Gay and Lbian Center 1971), and Mch Walker (the first “out” gay thor to be published a Jungian journal 1976).

HE REFERRED TO GAY MEN AS “FAIRI” AND CALLED FOR A NEW STRAIGHT PRI MONTH. ON NOV. 6, VOTERS FALLY KICKED HIM OUT OF OFFICE.

This foundg quartet issued “A Call to Gay Brothers” the Sprg of 1979 for “A Spirual Conference for Radil Faeri” that Labor Day weekend, which was attend by an overflow crowd of 220 enthiastic men, leadg to the birth of a h cultural phenomenon that has sce spread worldwi.

” A gay-centered psychoanalytic movement or revolutn based on transformg unfished fay bs, unexamed motiv, and ternalized homophobia to genue gay self-realizatn, spearhead by Mch Walker, emerged om wh the Faerie enavor at s begngs, fed through nontatn wh psychologil dysfunctn among s re learship, pecially regardg Harry Hay, who was rabidly anti-psychologil and who attempted at every turn to block any ser efforts an analytic directn. Don Kilhefner eventually realized the profoundly healg value of Mch’s novel perspective, beg nvced that the Faeri need to take up gay-centered psychologil activism. Don and Mch, bandg together and seeg no alternative reurse, rigned om the anizg circle durg a climactic meetg 1981, gog on the next year to form Treeroots, a nonprof rporatn dited to psychologilly-oriented homosexual self-realizatn.

I speak here not entirely as an nocent bystanr, as I have personally known all of the dividuals volved, first meetg each of them the late 1980’s, some years after most events scribed here, and am prently Mch’s lleague at the Instute for Contemporary Uranian Psychoanalysis, the world’s first gay psychoanalytic anizatn.

Further, Timmons rms that by the time Mch first met Harry, he was already an advanced thker the area of gay-centered psychology, havg wrten the early manual, Men Lovg Men: A Gay Sex Gui and Conscns Book (1977), and a master’s this, “Gay Depth Psychology, ” om which was distilled “The Double: An Archetypal Configuratn, ” published Sprg 1976, a groundbreakg paper that put homosexual love on an equal symbolic footg wh heterosexual love ( terms of Jungian theory).

While Harry cultivated his important ias about the Two Spir person and the Feast of Fools, Mch had been penntly iated through his own scent to the gay subjective unrworld where he disvered a superhuman prence of phallic homosexual divy. He subsequently fathomed how applyg a gay liberatn sensibily to Jungian analysis uld better advance this profound experience of archetypal love.
