LGBT History Month — October 5: Melvin Boozer – QNotes

~~~~~~

LGBTQ2 Blogger Nina Notes:

To Each Decade it’s Age of Understanding, do not under consider differing geographies, nor the heterosexual clash of cultures – in particular – do not read backwards the words of humans now to earlier ages, to each own expression in culture and under legal conditions; and to all biology applies, regardless of what humans think is understood, rather than told, the why and when.

Sex the act of; is central to religion, war – who gets to what to who- vs which has had a no.

Understood as noting to be debated, quibbled nor negotiated.

Both in personal lives, in public and the workplaces, which were gender divided owing to sexual roles, across cultures and times.

music and movie information from my previous blog

where I note, The Last Elvis Secret given what the Memphis Mafia wrote about Presley Parties, the only thing not officially and rarely luridly written about was the balance of probability Elvis Presley was bisexual, and was described by heterosexual men as being so attractive as to raise a question – including Jerry Reed, writer and performer. And given Larry Geller’s descriptions of being accused by other Memphis Mafia members of being gay with Elvis during the private hair cut sessions -rather makes it seem the Memphis Mafia were jealous, and with Larry having to point out that were they admitting Elvis was bisexual?

As if Geller, a Hollywood hairdress would have a problem and his challenge back to those accusers was were they admitting Elvis was bisexual with the accusation? the last Elvis secret, along with the suicide note left in 1977, all swore to not reveal.

And each Memphis Mafia Member book was all about the orgies and parties Elvis made them attend, as if that was not why they were his friends acquired over time, to Red West, who saved Elvis from high school bathroom beatings and haircuts.

However:

With the new theatric Biopic that will reveal Elvis’ self harm in both diet and injuries as a pretense to get cancer level drugs from doctors and dentists and anyone who would administer anything, including an induced week long coma for weight loss in Vegas, known to any Elvis fan who read:

the Darkest Elvis Secret was said by his StepMom on National USA tv. That one can be famous and rich and be depressed, connects to why western nations have the highest suicide rates: direct/obvious and passive. In 2017 it was revealed Elvis Presley left a suicide note, and that was why the life insurance policy was never cashed.

Was There A Dark Side to Elvis and Gladys?

It is important to note that the majority of sexual predators and murderers are males who victimize: pick the most inclusive or the most diverse statement of victim categories:

A) women and other men

B) men and women

C) heterosexual men, heterosexual women and LGBTQ2

D) heterosexual men, heterosexual women, gay/bisexual men, bisexual women, lesbians and NB/Transpersons

LGBTQ2 Blogger Nina Notes:

Most of the above is copied from one of the sites cited as sources in the daily post and as linked at the end of every post.

the history of nonheterosexuals and different historical eras views are such that there is a there is a danger to apply current decadish of time, in 2021 to past decades and centuries; particularly without application of complete history.

There is a difference between adopting male attire in the era when clothing was spelled out in law, and lesbians who passed in public, differ from those who only change clothing for personal sexual gratification, in private “cross dressors” in the language of this same era.

Laws regarding clothing exist in many nations, including capitol punishment, this is why sexual orientation is a demographic, That heterosexual women continue to be denied reproductive rights, education and professions, even where won at court; that women are a demographic. That male and female persons who are ethnically different from the majority population and with differing experiences being merged into colour blind visible minorities are differing demographics.

the farther back in time the given individual is, and why on this blog, there is a under theme of Elvis Presley, as the most prominent modern era person of the 1900s Current Era; who was photographed almost every day of his adult life., and who’s number of days on this planet have resulted in his being one of the most recognizable individuals across all cultures on the planet, which in 1950s was 1 billion people, and by his death almost 4 billion, to the 8 billion currently existing on earth.

BCE to The Suffragettes

10-03-1858 – 04-21-1924 Eleonora Duse – Born in Vigevano, Italy. She was an

Italian actress, known as Duse. Because of her total assumption of the roles she portrayed, she is regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. Duse and Sarah Bernhardt were often compared and argued about who was best. George Bernard Shaw thought Duse the better actress. Ellen Terry, a famous British actress of the time and knew them both well, stated, “How futile it is to make comparisons! Better far to thank heaven for both these women.” In 1896, Duse performed in Washington, D.C., President Grover Cleveland and his wife attended every performance. Washington society was shocked when the First Lady held a tea in Duse’s honor at the White House, the first for an actress. In 1909, she met and had an affair with feminist Lina Poletti. It was also rumored that she had an affair with dancer Isadora Duncan. She did have affairs with men. On July 30, 1923, Duse became the first woman (and Italian) to be featured on the cover of Time magazine.

10-03-1894 – 03-06-1979 Wilna Hervey – Born in San Francisco, California, she grew up in affluent circumstances in New York. She was an American silent film actress and artist. In the late 1910s, Hervey studied at the Art Students League in

New York City. Her acting career began in 1916 and she took on the name Wilna Wilde. In 1919, she was cast in the role of “The Powerful Katrinka” in the silent film series based on the comic strip, Toonerville Folks. Much of the slapstick comedy in the series revolves around Hervey’s physical stature — she was 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 300 pounds. While working on the production, she met Nan Mason (1896-1982), the daughter of her co-star Dan Mason. Nan and Hervey became life partners, remaining together 59 years, until Hervey’s death in 1979. From 1922 to 1929, the couple split their time between painting and farming in Woodstock, New York and acting opportunities in California. Both found artistic success during the 1960s. They are buried together at Artists Cemetery, Woodstock, New York. Hervey’s personal papers, including an unpublished memoir, are held at the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.

10-03-1877 – 07-07-1965 Virginia Gildersleeve – Born in New York City, New York. She was an American academic, Dean of Barnard College, and the only US female delegate to the April 1945 San

Francisco United Nations Conference, which negotiated the UN Charter and created the United Nations. During WWI, she was a strong supporter of the formation of the League of Nations. In 1942, during WWII, she was instrumental in founding the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). Its second in command was Gildersleeve’s long-time companion, English Professor, Elizabeth Reynard. Prior to her relationship with Reynard, she was intimately involved with Caroline Spurgeon (the first female university professor in London, England). In the 1940s, she paid for the full scholarship of at least one African-American student from Harlem out of her own pocket. Rosalind Rosenberg, Gildersleeve’s biographer, said of her, “By insisting that women have the right to every educational opportunity open to men, and by fighting her whole life to secure that opportunity, she helped establish the bedrock on which feminists have been building ever since.” Gildersleeve and Reynard are buried together at Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Churchyard, Bedford, New York.

10-03-1897 – 12-24-1982 Louis Aragon (born Louis Andrieux) – Born in Paris, France. Bisexual poet, essayist, and novelist.

Having been involved in Dadaism from 1919 to 1924, he became a founding member of Surrealism in 1924, with André Breton and Philippe Soupault. In 1939 he married Russian-born author Elsa Triolet. Aragon served France in two world wars and lived long enough to ride in gay pride parades in a pink convertible during the 1970s. After the death of his wife in 1970, he lived openly as a homosexual with poet Michel Larivière, who became his lover and companion. He was and still is a popular poet in France because many of his poems have been set to music and sung by a variety of singers.

10-03-1925 – 07-31-2012 Gore Vidal – Born in West Point, New York. He was an American writer of novels, essays, screenplays, and stage plays. He was also an intellectual known for his wit. As a political commentator and essayist, Vidal’s

principal subject was the history of the United States and its society. Vidal’s public debates on sex, politics, and religion with other intellectuals and writers, occasionally became continual quarrels, as with William F. Buckley Jr. and Norman Mailer. Vidal believed that men and women are pansexual. He rejected the adjectives “homosexual” and “heterosexual” when used as nouns, as inherently false terms used to classify and control people in society. In the genre of social satire, Myra Breckinridge (1968) he explores the mutability of gender-role and sexual-orientation as being social constructs established by social mores. In 1950, Gore Vidal met Howard Austen, who became his life-partner in a 53-year relationship. Vidal said that he refused to call himself “gay”, because he was not an adjective, because “to be categorized is, simply, to be enslaved. I have never thought of myself as a victim…I’ve said —a thousand times?—in print and on TV, that everyone is bisexual.”

1928 – Erik Belton Evers Bruhn (3 October 1928 – 1 April 1986) is born. He was aDanish danseur, choreographer, artistic director, actor, and author. Nureyev (17 March 1938 – 6 January 1993) met Erik Bruhn(3 October 1928 – 1 April 1986) were together off and on in a volatile relationship for 25 years until Bruhn’s death in 1986.

The Civil Rights 60s: When the Boomers were under 30

1961: In Hollywood, the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) announces a revision of its production code. “In keeping with the culture, the mores and the values of our time,” the revision advises, “homosexuality and other sexual aberrations may now be treated with care, discretion and restraint.” The new ruling paves the way for the release of films like The Children’s Hour and Advise and Consent, but the MPPDA later amends the revision to specify that “sexual aberration” may be “suggested but not actually spelled out.”

1970 – Bisexual singer Janis Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) Janis Joplin listened to the instrumental track for “Buried Alive In The Blues” at Sunset Studios, intending to record the vocal for her album Pearl on October 5. . She was an American rock, soul and blues singer and songwriter, and one of the most successful and widely-known female rock stars of her era. After releasing three albums, she died of a heroin overdose at the age of 27. A fourth album, Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her death. It reached number one on the Billboard charts.Joplin, highly respected for her charismatic performing ability, was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Audiences and critics alike referred to her stage presence as “electric”.She remains one of the top-selling musicians in the United States, with Recording Industry Association of America certifications of 15.5 million albums sold. The film The Rose (1979) is loosely based on Joplin’s life. Originally planned to be titled Pearl—Joplin’s nickname and the title of her last album—the film was fictionalized after her family declined to allow the producers the rights to her story.Bette Midler earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.

1973

From October 1st to 6th, Gays For Equality sponsored Winnipeg’s first Gay Pride Week

NYC health administrator Howard J. Brown publicly acknowledges his homosexuality saying ” . . . you get to a point where you want to leave a legacy–in a sense this can help free the generation that comes after us from the dreadful agony of secrecy, the constant need to hide.”

He later became the director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. He was a founder of the National Gay Task Force (now the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force) and a former New York City Health Services Administrator and physician, who helped change the image of gay men and lesbians in the United States by coming out publicly in 1973. Brown’s tenure as a gay activist proved brief. Plagued by coronary disease, he suffered a second heart attack on February 1, 1975 and died at the age of fifty. His estate published his autobiography, Familiar Faces, Hidden Lives, a book that also contains anecdotal stories of discrimination experienced by other gay men throughout America. In 1973, most Americans commonly viewed gay men as effeminate narcissists too disturbed to be respectable members of society. Brown helped change that image. The discovery that a distinguished public figure, the very epitome of respectability as a physician, could also be a homosexual gave the cause of gay liberation a tremendous boost. In 1974 an alternative health center, specializing in sexually transmitted diseases, and catering to gay men and lesbians, was opened in Chicago as the Howard Brown Memorial Clinic (now known as Howard Brown Health Center). It has since become the premier Midwest health center specializing in the medical and psychosocial needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.

interview with Alexander Wang for Interview Magazine. He said, “For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid—and that’s not the case.” Rocky said that he treats everybody equal and he wants his listeners and followers to do the same.

Musicologist Dr Alisun Pawley from the University of London, England, conducted research into what makes a song memorable and compiled a list of the ten “catchiest” songs of all time. During the research, they discovered that sing-along songs contained four key elements: long and detailed musical phrases, multiple pitch changes in a song’s ‘hook’, male vocalists, and higher male voices making a noticeable vocal effort.

I have always been and always will be a proud gay man.”

BCE to The Suffragettes

1650 – The Plymouth colony court found Sara White Norman guilty of lewd behavior on a bed with Mary Vincent Hammon. She was given a warning and ordered to publicly acknowledge her unchaste behavior. Their trial documents are the only known record of sex between female English colonists in North America in the 17th century. Hammon was only admonished, perhaps because she was younger than sixteen,but in 1650 Norman was convicted and required to acknowledge publicly her “unchaste behavior” with Hammon, as well as warned against future offenses.This may be the only conviction for lesbianism in American history. Sarah White, of whom little is known, married Hugh Norman in 1639. That year, Mary Vincent, then about 15, married Benjamin Hammon, who had arrived from London in 1634. During the time of Sarah’s prosecution (1648-1650), her husband deserted her and returned to England,Mary and her husband later had a number of children and she was widowed in 1703.

1849, Benin – Explorer Frederick Forbes arrives in the Kingdom of Dahomey (1600-1894) where he saw thousands of Amazons. Amazon tribes have existed in multiple time periods and continents, characterized as female-bodied with traditionally male traits. The Dahomean state became widely known for its corps of female soldiers. Their origins are debated; they may have formed from a palace guard or from gbetos (female hunting teams).They were organized around 1729 to fill out the army and make it look larger in battle, armed only with banners. The women reportedly behaved so courageously they became a permanent corps. In the beginning, the soldiers were criminals pressed into service rather than being executed. Eventually, however, the corps became respected enough that King Ghezo ordered every family to send him their daughters, with the fittest being chosen as soldiers

10-02-1902 – 06-18-1969 Jerzy Zawieyski – Born in Łódź, Poland. He was a Polish playwright, prose writer, Catholic political

activist, and amateur stage actor. He wrote psychological, social, moral and historical novels, dramas, stories, essays, and journals. During the German occupation of Poland, he was active in the underground cultural movement. After WWII, Zawieyski worked as a lecturer at the Catholic University of Lubin. Zawieyski was gay. In 1933 he met Stanislaw Trębaczkiewicz. They fell in love and lived together until his death. Both, in accordance with their wishes, are buried in the same grave in Laski Cemetery near Warsaw.

and a member of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) political party. He was the French Minister of Culture from May 7, 2002 – March 31, 2004. He is openly gay

10-02-1949 Annie Leibovitz – Born in Waterbury, Connecticut. She is an American portrait photographer. In 1970 she started her career as a staff photographer, working for Rolling Stone magazine. In 1973 she was named chief photographer of

Rolling Stone, a job she would hold for 10 years. On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz had a photoshoot with John Lennon for Rolling Stone. She was the last person to professionally photograph Lennon—he was shot and killed five hours later. Leibovitz had a relationship with writer and essayist Susan Sontag from 1989 until Sontag’s death in 2004. In 2009, Leibovitz wrote in A Photographer’s Life that, “Words like ‘companion’ and ‘partner’ were not in our vocabulary. We were two people who helped each other throughout our lives. The closest word is still ‘friend.’” That same year, she said the description “lover” was accurate. She later reiterated, “Call us ‘lovers’. I like ‘lovers.’ You know, ‘lovers’ sounds romantic. I mean, I want to be perfectly clear. I loved Susan.”

1950s The Decade the public learned heterosexual women wanted sex

1955 – Paula Ettelbrick (Oct. 2, 1955-Oct. 5, 2011), who has died of ovarian cancer aged 56, was an internationally acclaimed US-based lawyer and one of the pioneers of the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. A fiery activist, she would fight in the courtroom, and with federal and state representatives – and more often than not would win. During her 25-year career as an advocate for the LGBT community – which she began in 1986 at Lambda Legal as a staff lawyer, before progressing to become legal director – Ettelbrick held directorships in a number of high-profile lesbian and gay organisations. These included the National Centre for Lesbian Rights, the Empire State Pride Agenda, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.

They are the largest group specifically welcoming lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender as well as heterosexual participants and spectators.

1977: Glenn Burke, the first openly gay man to play in Major League Baseball, invented the high five in front of 46,000 fans at Dodger Stadium following a home run by Dusty Baker. Despite misconceptions that Jason Collins was the first openly gay player in a major pro sport, Burke was reportedly “comfortably out to his teammates and friends” — the press just wasn’t ready for it. He died from AIDS-related causes in 1995.

The Genderfuck Apathetics vs Yuppies : Aids the new STD on the list

1985: Rock Hudson, a leading Hollywood actor, became the major first celebrity to dies of AIDS-related complications. A friend of Ronald Reagan, Hudson’s death proved to be a catalyst that changed public perception surrounding the AIDS epidemic and the individuals affected by it. Until the actor’s death, the mainstream media had largely ignored the AIDS crisis, with it existing in the realm of public consciousness as the “gay plague.” His death resulted in greater attention to the AIDS epidemic. A movie star and matinée idol, Hudson, 59, dies in his home in Beverly Hills. His will includes a bequest that sets up the American Foundation for AIDS Research with his friend Elizabeth Taylor as the founding chair.

10-02-1986 Chip Arndt – Born in West Hartford, Connecticut. He is an American gay activist. Arndt is best known as a winner of The Amazing Race 4 in 2003 with former partner Reichen Lehmkuhl. The team was the first out gay couple to win a

He cast his vote on December 15, 2008, in Tallahassee, Florida for President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden. Chip’s electorship was historic because he was the first out gay man to cast an electoral vote in the state of Florida.

Within weeks, Barilla’s leadership rolled out a lot of corporate culture fixes, including the appointment of its first-ever Chief Diversity Officer, and a worldwide campaign to engage and inform customers about the importance of LGBT inclusivity. Just one year later, the company earned a perfect 100 rating from the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, which ranks major corporations on how supportive they are of LGBT employees. Barilla has kept that top rating for two years running.

When the Art Club of Richmond dissolved in 1917, Clark and Houston opened a studio together which offered art history, painting, and drawing classes. In the months before the 1920 elections, when there were threats and rumors of sham challenges against black women voters, Clark and Houston invited black leaders to their studio to plan ways to confront the issue. They decided that the white suffragists would patrol polling locations in cars. Clark and Houston continued to be involved in the interracial movement after the 1920 election. Both women also participated in art-related activism, campaigning for the resurrection of the Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts, which opened in 1930.

Councillor Simon Nattaq argued that the decision had not been approved by council, and Nunavut Tunngavik Inc president Cathy Towtongie commended Nattaq for speaking out. These events sparked lively discussion among the residents of Nunavut about same-sex issues, including whether it’s within Inuit custom to be gay.

In the midst of this discussion, the idea for a party emerged, specifically, an Iqaluit Pride party, the first of its kind in the capital city of Nunavut.

He was the King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1573 to 1575 and King of France from 1574 until his death. He was the last French monarch of the House of Valois. Reports that Henry engaged in same sex relations with his court favorites, known as the mignons,date back to his own time. On August 1, 1589, Henry III lodged with his army at Saint-Cloud, and was preparing to attack Paris, when a young fanatical Dominican friar, Jacques Clément, carrying false papers, was granted access to deliver important documents to the king. The monk gave the king a bundle of papers and stated that he had a secret message to deliver. The king signaled for his attendants to step back for privacy, and Clément whispered in his ear while plunging a knife into his abdomen. Clément was then killed on the spot by the guards.

All of the women insisted they were innocent and refused to pay the fine. Following the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, during the 1920s, Vernon supported women candidates for Congress and lobbied on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment. From 1951 until her death in 1975, Vernon lived with Consuelo Reyes-Calderon in Washington, DC.

09-19-1934 Brian Epstein – Born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England. He was an English music entrepreneur, best known for managing the Beatles. Epstein first discovered the Beatles in November 1961, during a lunchtime Cavern Club performance. He was instantly impressed and saw great potential in the group. After being rejected by nearly all major recording companies in London, Epstein secured a meeting with George Martin, head of EMI’s Parlophone label. In May 1962, Martin agreed to sign the Beatles, partly because of Epstein’s conviction that the group would become internationally famous. In 1997, Paul McCartney said, “If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian.” Epstein’s homosexuality was not publicly known until some years after his death, although it had been an open secret among his friends and business associates. McCartney said that when Epstein started to manage the Beatles they knew that he was homosexual but did not care, because he encouraged them professionally and offered them access to previously off-limits social circles. Epstein died of an overdose of Carbitral, a sleeping pill, on August 27, 1967. At the inquest of his death, it was officially ruled an accident; caused by a gradual buildup of Carbitral in his system, combined with alcohol. He was 32. Epstein had a hard time accepting that he was gay and it probably contributed to his overuse of drugs.

Today in LGBT History: September 16-October 10

09-18-1905 – 04-15-1990 Greta Garbo – Born in Stockholm, Sweden. She was a Swedish

film actress and an international star. Garbo was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Actress and received an honorary one in 1954 for her “luminous and unforgettable screen performances.” She retired from acting at the age of 35, after being in 28 films. Although she was offered many opportunities to return to the screen, she declined all of them. Garbo had intimate relationships with women as well as men. Her most famous romance was with John Gilbert. “I was in love with him,” she said. “But I froze. I was afraid he would tell me what to do and boss me. I always wanted to be the boss.” In 1927 Garbo is thought to have had an affair with stage and screen actress Lilyan Tashman. Silent film star Louise Brooks stated that she and Garbo had a brief liaison in 1928. In 1931, Garbo befriended the writer and out

lesbian, Mercedes de Acosta. According to Garbo’s and de Acosta’s biographers, they had a sporadic and volatile romance. The two remained friends for almost 30 years during which time Garbo wrote de Acosta 181 letters, cards, and telegrams, which are kept at the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia. Garbo’s family, which controls her estate, has made only 87 of them public. In 2005 Swedish actress Mini Pollak, a close friend in drama school released 60 letters Garbo had written her in their long correspondence. Several letters suggest she may have had romantic feelings for Pollak for many years. After learning of Pollak’s pregnancy in 1930, Garbo wrote “We cannot help our nature, as God has created it. But I have always thought

you and I belonged together.” In 1975 she wrote a poem about not being able to touch the hand of her friend with whom she might have been walking through life. Greta Garbo died at the age of 84 as a result of pneumonia and renal failure on April 15, 1990. As Ephraim Katz wrote, “ Of all the stars who have ever fired the imaginations of audiences, none has quite projected a magnetism and a mystique equal to Garbo’s.”

Later that year, her book was put on the list for Literature Non-Fiction Award of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s 2008 Human Rights Awards. She is openly lesbian. Maltzahn said, “When I was in my 20s, not long after I came out, I read a coming-out story of sorts, where a woman in her 50s talked about having come out after a life of marriage and children. In it, she talked about what she called life-long lesbians and that she envied them. She said that when she looked back on her life, she felt as though for much of it she had lived her life in black and white. In contrast, as a lesbian, with all the difficulties that involved, life was in technicolor.”

Kentucky. She was an American lawyer who founded the National Business and Professional Women’s Clubs in 1919 and by 1930, the International Federation of Business and Professional Women.

In 1919, she met Marjory Lacey-Baker, an American playwright and actress. They had a relationship for 36 years. Phillips described their relationship with Lacey-Baker as “the woman with whom I share my home.”

09-15-1924 – 03-21-2005 Bobby Short – Born in Danville, Illinois. Two of his classmates were Dick Van Dyke and Donald O’Connor. He left home at the

age of eleven with his mother’s permission and became a busker (a person that performs music in the street for monetary donations). His musical career in clubs began in the 1940s. In 1968 he began playing at the Café Carlyle in New York City and remained as a featured performer for over 35 years. He is best known for his interpretations of songs by Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, George & Ira Gershwin, and many others. He also championed African-American composers such as Eubie Blake, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, and Billy Strayhorn. Although he never publicly stated that he was gay, it was well known among his friends, fellow musicians, and even among some of his fans. When asked by a friend why

he hadn’t taken part in any gay pride marches of the 1970s and 1980s, Short response was, “I have a living to make! I can’t afford to march in the Gay Pride Parade.” He died in 2005 of leukemia and is buried in Danville, Illinois, where he was born.

Bannon and others helped to end the isolation and ignorance that had kept thousands of gay women in emotional prisons, and paved the way for the new generation of lesbian writers who were to follow. Back in the repressive 1950s and 1960s, her books were a lifesaver for many women, as the avalanche of letters Bannon received from that time attest.

Kate was in her mid-30s and a generally unknown sculptor when her doctoral dissertation at Columbia University, “Sexual Politics,” was published by Doubleday and Co.

In 1965 she married the Japanese sculptor Fumio Yoshimura, but she rejected many traditional ideas of marriage and eventually came out as a lesbian. Her autobiographical work Flying, published in 1974, told of the dizzying fame “Sexual Politics” had brought and her reaction to it. Sita, in 1977, dealt with her sexuality. She is survived by her spouse Sophie Keir.
