A new genetic study confirms theories that the global epidemic of HIV and AIDS started in New York around 1970, and it also clears the name of a gay flight attendant long vilified as being “Patient Zero.”
On 13 October 1970, the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was founded in Britain. It proved to be a defining, watershed moment in UK queer history; changing forever lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) consciousness.
A new exhibition at the GLBT History Museum, “Reigning Queens: The Lost Photos of Roz Joseph,” presents evocative photographs of San Francisco’s epic drag and costume balls of the mid-1970s. The colour images were created by noted photographer Roz Joseph, whose drag-queen series was rediscovered after she donated the work to the GLBT Historical Society. The vintage prints will be displayed starting October 23.
