Summary

This issue of Gay Life Pittsburgh from June 1977 focuses on community news, events, and a special feature on the revitalization of Pittsburgh’s Mexican War Streets neighborhood.

  • Local News: An update on the “Stop Anita” Bryant drive, which exceeded its fundraising goal of $500 to support the Dade County Coalition. The issue also covers local events like the grand opening of CJ’s Phase II, upcoming picnics, the Venture Inn’s Royal Jubilee Ball, and the Three Rivers Arts Festival. There are also reports on the Male Stop Bookstore’s closure and subsequent reopening under new management at Cinema Follies Club, and a new gay cocktail lounge, Robert Harold’s, joining the downtown scene.
  • National News: Updates on the Miami referendum regarding gay rights, including a public opinion poll and controversial quotes from Anita Bryant. The issue also highlights a study from the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University updating the Kinsey studies, and news about the National Gay Task Force receiving a grant from the Playboy Foundation.
  • Mexican War Streets Feature: A detailed article by Steve Roberts describes how the Mexican War Streets area in Pittsburgh’s Northside is being revitalized, with gay individuals and couples playing a significant role in its restoration and community building.
  • Events Calendar & Advertisements: A comprehensive listing of regular and special events for June, including parties, club nights, and cultural gatherings. Numerous advertisements for local gay-friendly businesses, clubs, baths, and services are also featured.
