Me in 1975
1970s: The personal became the political.

The Gay Liberation Front made demands.

In 1974 David Hutter and I wrote and published:

With Downcast Gays

ASPECTS OF HOMOSEXUAL SELF-OPPRESSION

More pictures from the 1970s.

Two other young men in that 1975 photo are dead..
.The 1980s brought HIV and money-mania, but ended with new hope and determination...
2000: SURVIVOR

Amidst image-obsessed superficiality, fraud spin and hype, fashion-driven consumption, super-rich and written-off poor.

But seeing a great change in political and public attitudes to sexuality, after three decades of brave truth-telling work by open lesbians and gay men.

The principle of homosexual equality gradually accepted in law and government.

The Internet allowing self-expression as never before.

American global dominance

perpetual war

irreversible climate change

ecological breakdown

2002:

Total Information Awareness: no illusion of privacy.

The political and the personal are still inseparable.

So enjoy it
while you can!
