Jack Fritscher
Jack Fritscher, Ph.D. is an American author, novelist, magazine journalist, gay historian, photographer, videographer, university professor, and social activist known internationally for his fiction and non-fiction analyses of gay popular culture. As a pre-Stonewall gay activist, he was an out and founding member of the American Popular Culture Association. Fritscher is the founding San Francisco editor-in-chief of ''Drummer Magazine''. Among literary peers Edmund White, Felice Picano, Andrew Holleran, Ethan Mordden, and Rita Mae Brown, Fritscher was the first born, the earliest published, the only documentary filmmaker, and the most sexually explicit writer.
==Early life==
Fritscher was raised in Peoria, Illinois. His father was the child of Socialist Austrian-Catholic immigrant stonemasons (arrived in 1885) and his mother was the grandchild of Irish-Catholic immigrant steelworkers (arrived in 1847). His uncle and namesake was the noted World War II Catholic army chaplain, Father John B. Day. Born during the Great Depression and growing up during World War II in rental housing, Fritscher was part of the gay generation who in their teens, during the 1950s, rebelled against conformity through the birth of pop culture and the Beats. In their twenties, during the 1960s, these gay youth marched for peace and civil rights, and in their thirties, during the 1970s, they worked to secure the cultural and aesthetic foundations of modern gay liberation in its first decade after the Stonewall riots.
In 1953 at age 14, Fritscher received a Vatican scholarship to the Pontifical College Josephinum where he attended both high school and college studying Latin and Greek. He earned a degree in philosophy in 1961, followed by graduate work in theology and the Scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas (1961–1963). He was also schooled by Jesuits in the Humanism of Marsilio Ficino, Erasmus, and Jacques Maritain. While in school, Fritscher earned his first publication (1958) and the production of his first play (1959).
In 1962, and 1963, inspired by French Worker-Priests and tutored by Saul Alinsky, Fritscher worked as a social activist on the South Side of Chicago, in the same neighborhoods worked twenty-five years later by Barack Obama. He was ordained by the Apostolic Delegate with the orders of porter, lector, exorcist, and acolyte. In 1964, he entered Loyola University Chicago and completed his master’s and doctoral programs, writing a dissertation on Tennessee Williams entitled (''Love and Death in Tennessee Williams'' )(1967).
