About this Item
8.5" x 11" 52 pp. including covers. Semi-slick magazine in stapled black and white pictorial wrappers. GPU news featured photos, ads, features, news, art, updates on local activities, discussions of the Gay Liberation Movement, and literary reviews. The Gay People's Academic Union grew out of a University of a Wisconsin-Milwaukee student organization, the Gay Liberation Organization, which first met in 1970. The GPU was founded in 1971 and opened the first Gay & Lesbian Community Center. GPU actively embraced mainstream and alternative media outlets in order to educate the general public about homosexuality. GPU also took a leadership role in building an infrastructure for the emerging local gay and lesbian community. It established Milwaukee's first gay and lesbian community center, operated a telephone counseling service and a venereal disease examination center, and organized a legal defense committee to assist gays and lesbians with paying for legal representation. The organization faded in importance by the early 1980s, although it continues to exist today. Seller Inventory # 3052450
