The letter complains of being pushed out of academic publishing by "a cabal of gay-male leftists and feminazis" due to the author having used pseudonyms to the point of damaged credibility, and regrets that his "humongous manuscript The History of Art History" has not yet found a publisher. The author reports a change of role "vis-a-vis gay and lesbian studies" due to "a postmodern pseudofield that is obscuring, if not obliterating the possibilities for genuine scholarship." On a personal note, the author describes travel to Costa Rica and London, with a companion named Neal. ]]>

Letter to the editor written by John Kyper

Published in Boston After Dark, 1 April 1970
Story
This is a letter-to-the editor of Boston After Dark (which later became the Boston Phoenix), in response to their favorable review of the film version of Mart Crowley's play "The Boys in the Band." I was reminded of this long-forgotten letter when I found Crowley's obituary in early March and dug it out of a filebox of my writings over the years that I'm slowly sifting through to copy items of interest before I donate it and a companion filebox to THP.

Story
Black & Pink is an abolitionist organization that seeks to build community and liberation of LGBTQ and HIV+ people impacted by the Prison Industrial Complex. We know that our family held within prisons is particularly at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we raised over $30,000 to send to our members in prisons across New England. These letters are from those members telling us what they spent that money on (lots of soap!), thanking us for the donation during this crisis, and looking for connections outside prison walls. LGBTQ people know we cannot rely upon the government to help us in times of crisis, we are each others' help and we survive through mutual aid. ]]>@BlackAndPinkBos (Twitter)]]>#QueerArchivesAtHome, http://www.historyproject.org/project/QAAH]]>Gay Community News Staff Christmas 1973]]>Gay Community News staff posed on a staircase, including: Joe Martin, Loretta Lottman, Sasha, Jon Kyper, Ellen B.

On page 1: "This pamphlet was prepared by the Combahee River Collective, a Boston Black Feminist Organization."
