- Synopsis
- In 1950, Harry Hay founded the Mattachine Society, and thus gave rise to the modern gay movement. Today, lesbian and gay activism is taken for granted. But four decades ago, it required a visionary and courageous spirit to organize gay people. Now, Stuart Timmons has chronicled those tumultuous early years of the homophile movement, and the colorful life of its founder. Here is the story of the man who started it all. Also, Hay helped found the Radical Faeries, a gay spiritual movement that seeks to "reject hetero imitation" and redefine gay identity.
