Reminder: From Beatniks to Gay Liberation: Allen Ginsberg & Queer S... @ Thu Aug 15, 2013 7pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

more details » From Beatniks to Gay Liberation: Allen Ginsberg & Queer San Francisco at GLBT History Museum What was the world that Allen Ginsberg inhabited in San Francisco in the 1950s? How did the then-lively gay scene in the North Beach neighborhood interact with the rest of the city? And what happened to that scene between Ginsberg's controversial public reading of "Howl" at the Six Gallery in 1955 and the dawn of the era of gay liberation? By reading passages from biographies and memoirs of Ginsberg, Jack Spicer, Sam Steward, James Broughton and José Sarria, as well historical studies, Michael Flanagan will recreate a vibrant world that has disappeared and will tell the story of how bohemian and beat San Francisco blended -- and didn't blend -- into one another. Flanagan is a reference librarian, writer and independent scholar who lives in San Francisco. His talk is cosponsored by the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Admission: $5.00 (general); $3.00 (California students); free for GLBT Historical Society members. https://www.facebook.com/events/143469909183777/ At GLBT History Museum, 4127 18th St. near Castro, SF http://www.glbthistory.org/ When Thu Aug 15, 2013 7pm – 9pm Pacific Time Calendar Queer Things Who • larrybob - creator
