- Early activism "From Philadelphia to New York City" is remembered in a "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and recounted by DUSTIN RICHARDSON).

- When the first wave of homophobic right-wing backlash threatened to quash the burgeoning queer movement in the late 1970s, activists of all stripes determined that California would not be the next domino to fall. "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE heard the story from DAVID MIXNER, the leader of one of the anti-Briggs Initiative/Proposition 6 liberation armies (featuring uncredited archival news reports by GARY TAYLOR and MIKE MANNING, and the voices of ANITA BRYANT, JOHN BRIGGS, PETER YARROW, HOLLY NEAR with MEG CHRISTIAN and MARY WATKINS, HARRY CHAPIN, JOAN BAEZ, IVY BOTTINI and THE REV. TROY PERRY).
