In this recording of Boston's Other Voice, which aired on March 29, 1987, host Peter Stickel interviews Lisa Hershkop, who is also known as "Hershey," from Gay Community News (GCN). They discuss the history of the newspaper, the tone of the stories GCN covers, and the expansion from a local to a national LGBTQ newspaper. GCN was holding a fundraiser to move from their current space; Hershkop talks about her role in the Gay Cabaret fundraiser and the performers were expected to participate. The two also discuss the lesbian community, pornography, and the slideshow Hershey made for the fundraiser.
