                <text>&lt;em&gt;Gay Community News&lt;/em&gt; (GCN) was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1999 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;O&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;ne of the most prominent LGBTQ+ weekly newspapers to grow out of the gay liberation movement of the 1970s, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;GCN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt; addressed a range of issues and controversies that were absent from the mainstream press and relevant to the gay, lesbian, and trans community. The paper was run by an evolving collective of staffers, members, and volunteers with a resolutely progressive and political orientation, but its coverage was inclusive of a diversity of thought and critically addressed the politics and experiences of sexuality, pornography, class, race, disability, relationships, incarceration, and parenthood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The History Project houses the following materials related to Gay Community News:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/collections/show/35"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coll. 016&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Gay Community News&lt;/em&gt; Publication Collection &lt;/a&gt;

                  <text>Boston's Other Voice was an LGBTQ-themed radio magazine that ran from February 1981 to November 1989. The show was created by Don Latulippe, public affairs programming director at WROR-FM 98.5 (the FM sister station to WRKO-AM, both owned by RKO General), and psychotherapist Dennis Iadarolla.&#13;
&#13;
The show was hosted from 1981-1985 by Dennis Iadarolla and from 1986-1989 by Peter Stickel. Don Latulippe hosted an interview with Stickel during this period, as well.&#13;
&#13;
According to Peter Stickel, these recordings of the show were rescued as the station was sold and the show cut due in part to the public affairs program requirement ending during the Reagan administration.</text>
