''Gay Community News'' was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation. Designed as a resource for the LGBT community, GCN reported a wide variety of Gay & Lesbian-related news. The paper's influence was such that it enjoyed a "national reach that was considered the movement’s 'paper of record' throughout the ’70s, and whose alumni at one point occupied so many leadership roles around the country that they were called the 'GCN mafia'."〔(How Boston powered the gay rights movement )〕 Founded as a local newsletter early in the struggle for Gay liberation, the journal was soon expanded into a major newspaper with an international readership. The journal saw itself as part an important vehicle for debating gay rights, feminism, antiracism, multiculturalism, class struggle, prisoners' rights, AIDS, and other causes. The paper's political stance was reflected throughout its reporting. The journal often served as a place in which liberals and radicals in LGBT groups debated conflicting agendas. An article entitled "Gay Revolutionary", published in 1987, led to claims from the conservative right that the journal promoted a "homosexual agenda" to destroy heterosexuality and traditional values. == Paper Attributes == The premier issue of Gay Community News was published out of The Charles Street Meeting House on June 17, 1973 as a two-page mimeograph, at first entitled "Gay Community Newsletter".〔〔(Finding aid for the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation Records )〕 The newspaper was originally designed as a tabloid-style publication. The first issue was loosely organized into sections titled Events, Volunteers, Needs, Notices, and Directory. The editors introduce the very first newsletter by stating: On March 8, 1975, the newspaper made two major changes: they began distributing color copies, and publishers expanded distribution to à regional level. In 1978, they went national.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gay Community News (Boston)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
