HARRY HAY è uno di questi e, probabilmente, il più caro che io abbia, vista la sua estrema dolcezza, il carattere affabile, la sensibilità così spiccata che lo caratterizza.
Hay capisce che è cominciata una delle periodiche persecuzioni dove i gay hanno la funzione storica di capri espiatori.
In tempi più vicini ai nostri, Harry Hay si è dato da fare nell'elaborare la sua teoria del "Terzo Genere", molto vicina a quella del "Terzo Sesso" di Ulrichs, e nell'organizzare le"Faeries", le "Fate" vicine alla natura, all'ecologia, che sono una delle componenti più vivaci del movimento GLBT americano.

 HARRY HAY Radical Faerie Written
Harry Hay, who ushered in the modern gay movement in the 1950s with the bold and groundbreaking organization known as The Mattachine Society, is the subject of a new book, Radically Gay, by San Francisco anthropologist and historian Will Roscoe, the author of The Zuni Man- Woman and Queer Spirits: A Gay Men's Myth Book.
Harry Hay and his "left of center" founders were ousted from their own organization by "opportunists" who wanted to assimilate the Mattachine Society.

Hay, in fact, was fanatically resistant to the grandfatherly image the modern gay movement not only tried to attribute to him but expected him to play out.
Hay, who was born in England in 1912 and moved to the US with his parents almost 10 years later, would have had easy access to Carpenter’s ideas, which were popular through the 1920s.
Hay’s spiritual radicalism had its roots in 17th-century British dissenting religious groups, such as the Diggers, Ranters, Quakers, and Levelers, who sought to refashion the world after their egalitarian, socialist, non-hierarchical, utopian views.

 jameswagner.com: Harry Hay and all the other queer outsiders
But from Hay’s point of view, silencing any part of the movement because it was disliked or hated by mainstream culture was both a moral failing and a seriously mistaken political strategy.
In Harry’s eyes, such a stance failed to grapple seriously with the reality that there would always be some aspect of the gay movement to which mainstream culture would object.
In death, though, Harry Hay’s critics have finally been able to do what they couldn’t do when he was alive: make him presentable [witness the laudatory press releases and eulogies even from the institutions most antithetical to his life's work].

 Kevin Roderick: Epitaph: Harry Hay
Almost from the start, Harry wrote later, "we were in love with each other and with each other's ideas." This was risky business in 1950, possibly more subversive and perilous than his clandestine membership in the Communist Party.
Harry's red past and insistence that the Mattachine confront the straight world got him tossed from the society in 1953.
Harry assumed a flagrantly queer style, sporting a dangling earring and pearls -- to go with blue jeans, flowing ponytail and the nickname of Duchess -- so he would not be mistaken for a hetero.

 The Real (Radical) Harry Hay, by Michael Bronski
Hay’s uneasy relationship with the gay movement—he reviled what he saw as the movement’s propensity for selling out its fringe members for easy, and often illusory, respectability—didn’t develop later in life.
The story of Harry Hay’s life was that he was always just little too radical—and since he was also a bit of an egotist, too disinclined to demure—for the groups with which he was involved.
Hay wondered—out loud, the most basic form of political organizing—if Vice-President Henry Wallace, who was the Progressive Party’s candidate for president, would back a sexual-privacy law if he could be assured that a majority of homosexuals would vote for him.

 Henry 'Harry' Hay -- gay rights pioneer / He started Mattachine Society
Hay got involved in politics and worked for a time as a ghostwriter and actor in Hollywood in the 1930s, where he met his then-partner Will Geer, who later went on to be grandpa on "The Waltons," according to Timmons.
Hay's caregivers -- members of the Radical Faeries -- decided he was not getting proper care in Los Angeles and moved him into a home in the Castro district where he was tended to by hospice nurses and received outpatient care for pneumonia and lung cancer.

 Obituary: Harry Hay Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
HARRY HAY was a leading figure in the dawn of gay liberation, and as a Communist Party organiser in America - and like the early gay activist Edward Carpenter before him - he connected homosexual freedom with a possible Utopia; freedom from the rest of the capitalist hegemony.
That year Hay was teaching a course on the "Historical Materialist Development of Music" at the People's Educational Center in Los Angeles when he went to a "beer bust" hosted by some gay men at the University of California.
Hay feared America was becoming a Fascist state, and the sense of embattlement gave Mattachine a fiercely secretive identity, adopting a "cell-like hierarchical structure", according to the historian John D'Emilio, in which five orders of membership led in a pyramid structure to the "fifth order" of the founders.

Harry Hay was one of the founding fathers of the gay rights movement, and for more than 50 years was synonymous with the term "gay pride." Director Eric Slade's documentary about Hay looks at both his life and the movement he did so much to define.
In 1948, Hay founded the Mattachine Society in Los Angeles; the goal of the organization was to establish a "Golden Brotherhood," one that sought to redefine homosexuality as a normal, healthy way of life.
Dramatizations, photographs, archival footage, and interviews with original Mattachine Society members are all incorporated to tell Hay's remarkable story, one whose legacy continues to be felt in the treatment of gays and lesbians in culture today.

In the 1960's Hay helped organize the first "gay pride" parade in Los Angeles, was chair of the L.A. Committee to Fight the Exclusion of Homosexuals from the Armed Forces and chair of the Southern California Gay Liberation Front.
