INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

  • Beyond the Gay Ghetto
    chapter 1 Beyond the Gay Ghetto Founding Debates in Gay Liberation In October 1969, Gay Liberation Theater staged a street performance the group called “No Vietnamese Ever Called Me a Queer.” These activ- ists brought their claims to two distinct audiences: fellow students at the University of California, Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza and fellow gay men at a meeting of the San Francisco–based Society for Individual Rights (SIR). The student audience was anti-war but largely straight, while SIR backed gay inclusion in the military and exemplified the moderate center of the “homophile” movement—“homophile” being the name for an existing and older network of gay and lesbian activism. Gay Liberation Theater adapted Muhammad Ali’s statement when refusing the draft that “no Viet Cong ever called me nigger” and, through this, indicted a society that demanded men kill rather than desire one another. They opposed the Vietnam War and spoke to the self-interest of gay men by declaring: “We’re not going to fight in an army that discriminates against us. Nor are we going to fight for a country that will not hire us and fires us. We are going to fight for ourselves and our lovers in places like Berkeley where the Berkeley police last April murdered homosexual brother Frank Bartley (never heard of him?) while cruising in Aquatic Park.” Frank Bartley was a thirty-three-year-old white man who had recently been killed by a plainclothes officer who claimed that Bartley “resisted arrest” and “reached for his groin.”1 In highlighting Bartley’s case, Gay Liberation Theater pushed back against the demands of assim- ilation and respectability and linked opposition to the Vietnam War with 17 Hobson - Lavender and Red.indd 17 29/06/16 4:30 PM 18 | Beyond the Gay Ghetto support for sexual expression.

Photo circa 1883. LGBT rights in the United States vary depending on the laws of each state in the country. Same-sex consensual sexual activity has been legal throughout the country since 26 June 2003. Marriage and adoption of gay people are legal in all states after the Supreme Court's decision of June 26, 2015. In the United States, the first forms of modern LGBT activism had their origins, especially after the 1969 stonewall episode. This served as a catalyst for a movement that gained national significance and quickly spread to other countries. A 2018 Gallup survey found that 67 percent of Americans favor same-sex marriage. As in other countries, the way homosexuality is understood in the United States has evolved from sin, crime and disease to a natural fact. Because different U.S. federal states have different laws, the decriminalization of homosexual acts has been done in the U.S. in a very staggered manner. The first state to eliminate its sodomy law was Illinois (1962).

The Project was organized by Mark Meinke and other individuals such as Charles Rose, Bruce Pennington, Jose Gutierrez, and James Crutchfield. The purpose of the group is “to collect, preserve, and promote an active knowledge of the history, arts, and culture relevant to sexually diverse communities in metropolitan Washington D.C.” Scope and Content: The RHP Collection documents the history of homosexuality in America, particularly in the greater Washington, D.C. area. It contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, magazines, pamphlets, articles, case briefings, committee reports, administrative documents, and ephemera. In 2008, the RHP and the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. created a partnership agreement whereby the RHP serves as an active collecting organization which solicits, processes and selectively digitizes material within its scope; the Society serves as the repository for the RHP’s physical material. The Society receives accruals to the RHP Collection on an on-going basis; this finding aid will be updated as accruals are made and will indicate the processing status of each incoming series.
