Queer Theorists and Gay Journalists Wrestle Over
PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES BY CALEB CRAIN QUEER THEORISTS AND GAY JOURNALISTS WRESTLE OVER THE POLITICS OF SEX 26 PLEASURE PRINCIPLES PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES Nearly two hundred men and women have come to sit in the sweaty ground-floor assembly hall of New York City’s Lesbian and Gay Community Services Cen- ter. They’ve tucked their gym bags under their folding chairs, and, despite the thick late-June heat, they’re fully alert. Doz- ens more men and women cram the edges of the room, leaning against manila-colored card tables littered with Xerox- es or perching on the center’s grade-school-style water foun- tain, a row of three faucets in a knee-high porcelain trough. A video camera focuses on the podium, where activist Gregg Gonsalves and Columbia University law professor Kendall Thomas welcome the audience to a teach-in sponsored by the new organization Sex Panic. It might have been the Sex Panic flyer reading DANGER! ASSAULT! TURDZ! that drew this crowd. Handed out in New York City’s gay bars and coffee shops, the flyer identified continuing HIV transmission as the danger. It pointed to the recent closing of gay and transgender bars and an increase in arrests for public lewdness as the assault. And it named gay writers Andrew Sullivan, Michelangelo Signorile, Larry Kramer, and Gabriel Rotello as the Turdz. The flyer, however, is not how I first Kramer, or Sullivan with hisses, boos, thing called queer theory. Relatively found out about the Sex Panic meeting. and laughs.

SS: Karl, do you remember the first time you heard the word AIDS? KS: I remember, very vaguely in high school. I had a little class that was called “Journalism” – a high school elective – and there was something about gay cancer. I remember being part of group of people making fag jokes about it. And I don’t know if that was the word AIDS, but I remember there was that gay man dying in an article in Time magazine, probably, which is what I used to read. SS: Where was this? KS: I was in New Jersey – in a suburban high school in New Jersey. SS: And, were you gay yet, at that time? KS: No, except in my fantasies and wet dreams – I was very gay. But I had a girlfriend and was not gay at that point. SS: And when did you come out? How old were you? KS: I came out in college. I was 19.

You made your bed. Now lie in it.' I. INTRODUCTION "Outing" is the forced exposure of a person's same-sex orientation. While techniques used to achieve this end vary,2 the most visible examples of outing are employed by gay activists in publications such as The Advocate or OutWeek,4 where ostensibly, names are published to advance a rights agenda. Outing is not, however, confined to fringe media. The mainstream press has joined the fray, immortalizing in print "the love[r] that dare[s] not speak its name."' The rules of outing have changed since its national emergence in the early 1990s. As recently as March of 1995, the media forced a relatively unknown person from the closet.6 The polemic engendered by outing * Associate Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law.

Being Gay and Hippie
Being Gay and Hippie: How Oral History Deconstructed My Fixed Ideas By Steven Palmer A thesis submitted to the faculty of Columbia University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Oral History New York, New York October 2017 Don’t let the past remind us of what we are not now.1 When I first considered attending Columbia’s OHMA program, my reason seemed solid. I wanted professional guidance with my oral history project researching the “interface of gays and hippies” in the 1960s. My academic interest was intensely personal. Having been both gay and a latter-day hippie, I felt a sense of destiny when I learned there was historical evidence that the hippie movement positively impacted the gay liberation movement. I hoped I would be able to excavate this history and believed it was my duty to add to the canon of gay American history. The academic flowed seamlessly into the personal as I was convinced that this research would help place my sometimes-scrambled identity into a clear and uncontested historical context. But then I lost my momentum. It’s hard to say why but my guess is that I was lacking in the “next-steps” arena. As a result, numerous cassettes were interned to the bottom of a desk drawer to collect dust for several years. Though the interviews were out of sight, my project was not out of mind. I was unable to set myself free from this sense of mission so my several year lapse nagged at me as did my partner, David.
