Gay Liberation Allows Drag, Flyer 1980
This flyer from Spring of 1980 announces the "newest" addition to the Gay Liberation movement, Gay Liberation Allows Drag (GLAD) which it states was founded by "trans person" Eve Adams. Adams apparently was slated to speak at the Gay Pride Rally in Central Park on June 29th of 1975. The flyer states "she will address the gay community and America about equality, unity and basic human rights for all gay people especially the most neglected: TRANSPEOPLE." This item may be viewed on microfilm through the New York Public Library Archives and Manuscripts division, International Gay Information Center collection.

The Rat, July 9-23, 1969, pg 6.
Queen Power article in the Rat Subterranean News
An article in the Rat, Subterranean News entitled "Queen Power" chronicling the night of the Stonewall Riots. Included on the page is a caricature of a gay man captioned with a lisp. The reporter who wrote this account is not credited and neither is the cartoonist. In David Carter's Stonewall research he cites the author of this account as "Tom" the Rat reporter. This account continues to develop the Stonewall narrative and reinforces the idea of spontaneous action. The "kids" were taking back what was theirs (and rightfully theirs from the beginning) from the oppressive power of the police.
