From the outrageous and flamboyant to the political and poignant, the stunning photos in LGBT: San Francisco capture a wide-ranging picture of the gay movement. This essential gay history features a foreword by director Gus Van Sant and an introduction by Chuck Mobley.
Daniel Nicoletta (born 1954) has been the leading chronicler of the LGBT civil rights movement in San Francisco over the last forty years. Something of a legend today, this is the first book dedicated to his powerful photographs from the groundbreaking scene.
Nicoletta is most known for his iconic images of Harvey Milk, one of the world's first openly gay elected officials and who was assassinated by a homophobic colleague in 1978.
"I worked in Harvey Milk's camera store in the burgeoning lesbian gay bisexual transgender mecca."
Nicoletta has turned his lens to the flamboyant - glittering drag queens, fabulous costumes, alternative theatre - the political, the outrageous and to the quiet bravery of same-sex couples simply trying to live their lives. Nicoletta continues to document the reverberations of Milk's legacy. He serves as a key point person for LGBT civil rights and Milk related research. In 2014, one of Nicoletta's photographs was used on a Harvey Milk 'Forever Stamp'. LGBT: San Francisco is an essential gay history and a stunning photographic work that is not to be missed.
