In Washington, DC, from 1973 to 1982, the Stonewall |
|
Nation Media Collective produced the "Friends" radio |
|
program, one of the first and longest-running radio shows |
|
aimed at an LGBTQ audience. Topics ranged from arts and |
|
culture, to politics, music, health, and community |
|
activism. It chronicled the emerging gay community, as it |
|
established community organizations, sought civil rights, |
|
and dealt with issues like racism, gender, health and the |
|
arts. In addition to news and community announcements, it |
|
included stories of people coming out. Founded by Bruce |
|
Pennington and others from the Stonewall Nation Media |
|
Collective, its name came from the 1973 hit song by Bette |
|
Midler, which was played at the start of each episode. |
|
Initially broadcast on Georgetown University radio |
|
station, WGBT, and later on Pacifica Radio, WPFW, shows |
|
ranged between 30 to 60 minutes. Some broadcasts have |
|
been preserved; some of the outtakes used to prepare the |
|
broadcasts are also available. |
