A new exhibition highlighting the GLBT Historical Society's holdings of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex periodicals published in Northern California from the 1940s to the 2000s.
The magazines, newspapers, newsletters and zines on display reflect how queer people have used periodicals to create community, develop culture, express desire and inspire activism. From sober to sleek, from coy to explicit, from apolitical to militant, the publications demonstrate the myriad ways LGBTQ people have found empowerment in print.
Curated by the society's managing archivist, Joanna Black, and museum manager, Jeremy Prince, the show centers on 26 carefully selected titles -- one for each letter of the alphabet -- that suggest the range and depth of the institution's periodicals collection, one of the largest in the United States.
