With more than 900 articles penned for the
Bay Area Reporter, I feel a strong connection as the newspaper celebrates its 50th anniversary this week. I ve written columns, listings and reviews since 1992. Having assigned and edited the expansive features in this section, I thought to share some behind the scenes tales as well.
My career in journalism started in 1989 in New York City with
OutWeek, the revolutionary weekly publication that emerged from ACT UP, Queer Nation, but didn t last long.

Fifty years ago the gay bar that foremost location for so much dating, friendships, political organizing, and times both fun and challenging gave birth to the B.A.R., when the first copies of the Bay Area Reporter were set atop cigarette machines in San Francisco watering holes.
Since those early, heady days of what was then called the Gay Liberation Movement, the bar rag evolved to become the undisputed newspaper of record for the Bay Area s LGBTQ community, distributing 20,000 paper copies each Thursday, and of course available 24/7 online.

It hasn t always been easy. It definitely hasn t been without controversy or occasional missteps. But here we are, 50 years later, in the midst of another pandemic, continuing to inform queer readers on issues that matter to them.
