bonnie morris TERF michigan womyn's music festival
In this article in the Gay and Lesbian Review, Rainbow History board member Bonnie Morris highlights the tensions surrounding women's music festivals and their policies regarding transgender inclusion. She argues that the term TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) has become a slur used to discredit and defame an older generation of lesbians and calls for the media to stop using this term.

The Homosexual Citizen: News of Civil Liberties & Social Rights for Homosexuals
A full run (a total of 17 issues) of a publication produced jointly by the Mattachine Society of Washington and the Mattachine Society of Florida from January 1966 to May 1967. *** Homosexual Citizen was a short-lived magazine published by the Mattachine Society of Washington (in occasional collaboration with the Mattachine Society of Florida) from January 1966 to May 1967. Lilli Vincenz, writing under the nom de plume Lily Hansen, edited each issue of Homosexual Citizen and described the periodical’s mission: “The Homosexual Citizen is an addition to the ranks of homophile publications – and a good omen for the new year. We anticipate another important year of homophile activity, in which the homosexual will continue to make strides ahead on the road to acceptance as an equal human being. This magazine intends to report and reflect his progress. ...Homosexuals are…no longer content to remain in the darkness to which society consigns them but want to share the rights and responsibilities that are part of the American heritage. …The Homophile movement has finally illuminated our plight, and the day will come when the homosexual can openly play his role as a first-class citizen free of fear and discrimination.” (Vol.1, #1) In the 16 issues that followed, Vincenz and a series of contributors–including her fellow members of the Mattachine Society of Washington–used the pages of Homosexual Citizen to report on demonstrations, the Lavender Scare and other forms of persecution, the broader homophile movement (both across the United States and abroad), and topically relevant books and film. Recurring segments included “Homophile Digest” (detailing the activities of other homophile organizations around the United States), “The Government: From Within” (specifically focused on the Mattachine Society’s battle against the US Civil Service Commission), “Newsfronts,” (highlighting regional, national, and international news related to homosexuality), “Our President Speaks” (an editorial written by MSW’s President), and “Book Review” (focusing on both academic texts and works of fiction). A few articles of particular note: “Echo 1965” by Warren D. Adkins and Michael Fox (Vol. 1 #1) – A detailed summary of the 1965 East Coast Homophile Organizations conference that took place in New York in September 1965. “White House Picketed” by Franklin E. Kameny (Vol. 1 #1) – An account by MSW founder Frank Kameny of the October 1965 White House picket organized by MSW. “Breaking the News to Our Parents” by Lily Hansen (Vol. 1 #2) – A piece on “coming out” to one’s parents. “Kansas City Results” by Warren D. Adkins and John Marshall (Vol. 1 #4) – A summary of the first National Planning Conference of Homophile Organizations held in Kansas City in February 1966. Includes a reproduction of the statement adopted by all present organizations. United States Civil Service Commission Letter (Vol. 1 #5) – A full copy of John Macy’s (Chairman of the US Civil Service Commission) letter to MSW rejecting the Society’s recommendations that the Commission revise its policy on the employment of homosexuals. List of Homophile Organizations (Vol 1. #10) – A list of homophile organizations operating in the United States and Canada. Includes addresses. “Why Should I Join” (Vol. 1 #11) by Warren D. Adkins – An entreaty to homosexuals to join the growing rights movement. Mattachine Society of Washington Statement of Purpose (Vol. 1 #11) – A full copy of the Society’s purpose and aims. “What is Beiberism” (Vol. 1 #12) by Warren D. Adkins – A detailed critique, including references, of Dr. Irving Beiber’s Homosexuality: A Psychoanalytic Study. Foreshadowing the homophile movement’s efforts to remove homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. “If You Are Arrested” (Vol. 2 #1) – A two part guide detailing United States citizens’ rights under the law and how to respond to federal investigations. “The Homophile Movement: A Historical Perspective” by Warren D. Adkins (Vol. 2 #1) – An early history of the movement placing the activities of US based organizations within a broader international context.
