DESCRIPTION:Which Side Are You On? Harry Hay and Labor Organizing\nPanel Discussion 
 with Chris Carlsson, Bettina Aptheker and others, moderated by Joey 
 Cain.\nGay labor activist Harry Hay helped lay the foundation for the 
 modern lesbian and gay rights movement.\n In 1934, Harry Hay attended the 
 legendary Longshoreman’s Strike in San Francisco, known as the San 
 Francisco General Strike, to perform agit-prop theatre with his lover Will 
 Geer. During one of their performances, bullets rang out as the National 
 Guard opened fire on the workers. Several workers were killed in that 
 melee, but more would be killed before the government’s crack down on the 
 strike ended. The strike culminated with a funeral march on Market Street, 
 San Francisco’s main street, which was the largest public demonstration 
 to take place in its day.\n Radically Gay: The Life Of Harry Hay: An 
 Exhibition on the Founder of the Gay Rights Movement, Main Library.\n The 
 exhibition includes his early years through his labor activism, and strong 
 involvement with the Communist Party, to his founding of the Mattachine 
 Society, the first gay activist group in America, and co-founding of the 
 gay men’s spirit group, the Radical Faeries. An actor, Communist labor 
 organizer, musicologist, gay theoretician and political activist, Hay left 
 a lasting mark that continues well into the 21st century.  \nSee
