Press Coverage, Dec. 1990 - Dec. 1991

 Series
Identifier: Series 9.

Scope and Contents

Like any other non-profit organization, by the early nineties, Queer Nation had mastered the art of securing media coverage as a vehicle to enhance the impact of its public demonstrations. Besides the reporting on the organization's birth, this series encompasses a variety of press articles that discuss issues of discrimination, stereotypical media representations, street protests, the proliferation of long term gay and lesbian couples and one of the first articles dedicated to the potential analysis of the LGBT buying power. Among the articles focusing on discriminatory issues are: The Arsenio Hall Show controversy, Barney's Beanery homophobic stance, "Silence of the Lambs" stigmatized portrayal of a gay man, catholic bashings and the Los Angeles City College (LACC) AIDS discrimination case. In addition, the selection also includes a significant number of articles about Hollywood representations of LGBT people as well as bigotry in music.
