David P. Brill
David P. Brill (1955–1979) was a Boston-based gay rights activist and investigative journalist.〔Miller, Neil. "Personally... David Brill, 1955-1979." ''Boston Phoenix'', November 27, 1979, p. 3.〕
Brill studied political science at the University of Massachusetts Boston.〔Rabinovitz, Barbara. "Death of political writer, 24, stuns Boston's gay community." ''Boston Herald'', November 17, 1979, p. 1.〕 He was one of the nation's first investigative journalists for the gay press, and for more than six years served as chief investigative reporter and political commentator for the weekly ''Gay Community News'', chronicling issues relevant to the lives of gay people. He was also a correspondent for ''Boston Magazine''〔Brill, David P. "Checking in: Robin MacCormack." ''Boston Magazine'', September, 1979 (Brill's interview with Boston Mayor Kevin White's gay community liaison, Robin MacCormack)〕 and the California-based gay interest magazine ''The Advocate''.〔Articles by Brill appeared in ''The Advocate'' in 1974 (17 July, 9 October, 4 and 18 December), 1975 (16 and 30 July, 27 August, 8 and 9 October, 5 November), and 1976 (21 February and 6 October)〕 He sought to make city and state government, the media, and especially the police, more responsive to the needs of gay men and lesbians; through his special concern with the subject of violence against gays, he initially brought this issue to the eye of law enforcement officials and the public. He was also a member of the Homophile Union of Boston and Gay Legislation and lobbied for a better understanding of gay people and laws to protect their civil rights.〔Public statement by Kevin H. White, Mayor of Boston, on November 27, 1979.〕
In his roles as political writer and gay rights advocate, Brill came to know well Boston Police Lt. William J. Bratton, who credited Brill for "liberalizing police attitudes towards gays by opening up a relationship with the police. Prior to writing a story, he'd always come to us for our side. There was a trust established between David and the command staff here at headquarters."〔''Boston Herald'', November 17, 1979, ''ibid.''〕 Bratton (who went on to be Superintendent in Chief of the Boston Police Department, Commissioner of the New York City Police Department and Chief of Police of the Los Angeles Police Department) mentioned Brill in his 1998 book, ''The Turnaround: How America's Top Cop Reversed the Crime Epidemic.''〔Bratton, William J. ''Turnaround: How America's Top Cop Reversed the Crime Epidemic''. 1998, p. 101.〕
