REVISITING THE GAY LIFE: Life and Death of Harvey Milk

Elaine Gay Jarvis

GLBT Historical Society

This we are sharing a sneak peek of Revisiting The Gay Life from KALW’s Queer Power Hour and the GLBT Historical Society. The audio documentary series explores LGBTQ history in the Bay Area by re-listening to The Gay Life, a San Francisco radio show that was hosted by Randy Alfred from the late '70s to the early '80s. The original show ran on KSAN in the Bay Area.

On today’s show, we consider the life and impact of Harvey Milk on San Francisco and the LGBTQ community. The Gay Life host Randy Alfred interviews Randy Shilts, author of The Mayor of Castro Street.

To hear the entire series, tune into KALW’s Queer Power Hour Thursdays at 6pm — all summer long.

Join us for Out on the Air, a live conversation about the history of LGBTQ radio on July 15th at 7pm at KALW’s community event space at 220 Montgomery Street in downtown San Francisco.
