PRIDE Newsletter

 

Rare. This publication led to the formation of, and was the predecessor to, "The Los Angeles Advocate," the longest-running gay and lesbian publication in the history of the United States .

 

Annotated are five incredibly rare issues of " PRIDE Newsletter " (1966-67) published out of Los Angeles, California by the early gay-rights group "Personal Rights In Defense and Education."

 

Background History

From Mark Thompson's magnificent "Long Road to Freedom: The Advocate History of the Gay and Lesbian Movement":

 

"[PRIDE] was started in May 1966 by Steve Ginsberg, a local activist, and others concerned over mounting police harassment of Los Angeles homosexuals. As in most urban centers, fear and loathing ruled the day; anxiety over the capricious nature of law enforcement agencies when it came to homosexuality - bar raids, illegal entrapment, and a widespread application of 'lewd conduct' laws made just about anybody open for arrest at any time - was further entrenched by the low self-esteem and apathy most gays then felt. PRIDE dealt with the problem outright, holding regular meetings and social events for members and guests as well as staging public demonstrations protesting oppressive police tactics...

 

"...PRIDE swelled with new members. Among the recruits was Dick Michaels, a professional writer who had attended several meetings and PRIDE-sponsored dances the previous fall with his lover, Bill Rand, but who kept a reserved distance. The Black Cat raid and subsequent demonstration changed all that...

 

"...The almost nonexistent coverage of gay news by the 'Los Angeles Times' and the blatant homophobia of the 'Hollywood Citizen-News' made the need for a regular gay newspaper all the more urgent. Michaels spent the summer of 1967 mulling over his idea of expanding the PRIDE newsletter, enlisting the help of Rand and their friend Sam Winston, a talented artist and cartoonist with an offbeat sense of humor who chaired PRIDE's publication committee. 'We formulated a crude plan,' recalled Michaels, yet the trio persisted...

 

"...They settled on a name, the 'Los Angeles Advocate'..."

 

PRIDE Newsletter

 

Five of the early PRIDE newsletters edited by Dick Michaels:

 

*Volume 1 #6 (October 24, 1966); 4-page newsletter;

A left-folded Newsweek-size newsletter, three-hole punched to left margins, as issued, and containing 20 pages including front and rear covers.

From the publication's statement of principles from the first issue, reading in part: "The Sexual Law Reporter, a bi-monthly newsletter which started publication in April, 1975, covers a field that has been long neglected by the general news media and the specialized press. In an age in which sexual awareness is developing rapidly, there is a strong impetus toward sexual reform that requires a reliable line of communication if it is to grow and be successful. The Sexual Law Reporter is developing a nationwide communications network that will, through the newsletter, inform sexual reform activists, members of the bench and bar, law school professors and students, and others of judicial and legislative efforts - both successes and failures - on the federal, state, and local levels..."

Containing news on sexual law reform, both gay and straight, headings include: cover headline entitled "Sexual Orientation Discrimination in Employment" with two accompanying articles ("A review of legislative, administrative, and judicial developments this year in California" and "California court holds being a 'manifest gay' is protected political activity"); "California Supreme Court redefines 'lewd conduct'"; "Ohio solicitation law held not vague or overbroad"; "Sexual privacy in Virginia: Two recent cases"; Legal Analysis by Thomas F. Coleman entitled "Securing gay rights through constitutional litigation: Procedure and strategy."

About this site:

Ebay is an amazing place and reasource. There I found these wonderful detailed and annotated descriptions of various important and early gay publications. I felt compelled to save and share them. They are published here with the author Brad Confer's consent. They were written for the sole purpose of selling the material on Ebay and not with scholarly intent, but they are such a rich resource as is, that I present them here. It has taken me almost as much work as Brad to collect, reformat, organize and publish this information. Please write me if this site is helpful to you. If you want to contact Brad, his business is Bloomsbury Books and you can email him at bloomsbury@earthlink.net

 

Most of these issues can be found at the New York Public Library, McCormick Library of Special Collections and the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archive among other places.
