MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • A Martyr in the Archive: the Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk's Suit
    A Martyr in the Archive: The Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk’s Suit Jordy Jones ‘If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.’ (Harvey Milk, from audiotape to be played only upon the event of his assassination) What is writing? Staining sheets. While e´criture is understood as operating on a symbolic level, the physical act of mark-making is grounded in materiality. Ink on paper, cum on the bedspread and bloody clothing of all sorts share the pull of the gaze. These things, like all things, look back. The psyche, being invisible, keeps its secrets better than the body, but it too leaks, and it also peeks. The writing, the writer and the written are not so discrete. They overlap. The writer is as much a text as the written. Sudden exclamations can interrupt the most banal texts. ‘Bang!’ When Harvey Milk declared that the fatal bullet should ‘destroy every closet door,’ he was advocating a very specific course of action associated with an entirely hypothetical scenario, which, in fact, came to pass. In retrospect, the words seemed prescient, their predictive, productive, performative character lending fuel to the eventual mythologizing of the man Milk. Roland Barthes asked whether ‘for some perverts the sentence is a body?’ (1975: 51) Nearly four decades later, this question has lost much of its novelty. The sentence is, or can be, a body. The relationship between the body, the world and the word is always already technologized. The body can be a sentence, or an entire text, or an accumulation of texts.

  • Love and Hope: How Harvey Milk Broke the LGBT Barrier in Politics
    Love and Hope: How Harvey Milk Broke the LGBT Barrier in Politics Julian Cunningham, Emily Gillies, Maxwell Kahn, Asif Sattar, Jonathan Schneiderman Senior Division Group Performance Process Paper: 499 words Annotated Bibliography Primary Sources Associated Press. "Milk Left a Tape for Release If He Were Slain." The New York Times. Last modified November 28, 1978. Accessed January 4, 2020. https://nyti.ms/1kSczMC. This short article provides quotations from the tape that Milk left in case he was assassinated. Although we were not able to incorporate these quotations due to time constraints, this provided helpful context for Milk's mentality that encouraged gay visibility. Milk urged those around him to "come out" and this knowledge helped us phrase some of the non-direct quotations spoken by the character of Harvey Milk in our performance. Barnes, Clive. "Theater: The New York of 'Inner City.'" The New York Times (New York, NY), ​ ​ December 20, 1971. Accessed December 5, 2019. https://nyti.ms/1kJRbcp. This article is from Harvey Milk's producer days. His appearance is pretty much just a cameo; he is mentioned as a producer of Inner City. That is enough, though, for our ​ ​ purposes; it provides primary documentation of Milk's activities before he went to San Francisco and went into politics.

  • The GLBT Historical Society & GLBT History Museum in 2011
    2011 The GLBT Historical Society & GLBT History Museum in 2011 The GLBT Historical Society opened the first GLBT History Museum in the United States at the beginning of the year, attracting tens of thousands of visitors, generating international visibility and creating a base for expanded programming. We also launched a major new project in the archives. This report offers an overview of our new and ongoing accomplishments in 2011. The Archive The work of the archives, keeping the collections safe and accessible, never stops. This year Managing Archivist Rebekah Kim and her team assisted over 100 researchers, accessioned over 20 linear feet of new materials and digitized over 300 film and audio items—including newly discovered film footage of Harvey Milk. The society’s two-year project to survey and process our manuscript collections is well underway. Dr. Marjorie Bryer, the project archivist, has largely completed an extensive survey of all manuscript collections. The team also has been processing collections including that of noted historian Allan Bérubé, which includes more than 100 linear feet of documents. Communications Program GLBT history, particularly its inclusion in school textbooks, has become a subject of heated debate with blocked websites in schools and a possible ballot initiative to suppress mentions in textbooks in California. The society is increasingly drawn into this discussion as an advocate for inclusion of our history. The opening of museum was covered by media in over 75 nations, and interest remains strong. The international visibility of the museum also has led to requests for presentations about our approach to queer public history.
