[edit] Between a rock and a hard place

Wasn't Hay booted out of his own Mattachine Society for his communism, as well as being booted out of the CPUSA for his open homosexuality? -- Jmabel | Talk 05:59, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NAMBLA

Why is there no mention of his involvement with NAMBLA? It's well documented and there are many photographs of Harry Hay holding NAMBLA signs.--64.205.57.18 14:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

If so, why don't you do it? Hyacinth 21:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I have added in it an NPOV way, I hope--Dudeman5685 05:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Kepner Comments

Comments attributed to Jim Kepner in his review of "Radically Gay: Gay Liberation in the Words of Harry Hay," take issue with some of the claims made by Harry Hay. Like, how could Harry Hay have founded the Radical Faerie movement at a time when other people were already holding Faerie gatherings and publishing? Also, other sources of information are that Harry Hay does admit being inspired by Henry Gerber's Society for Human Rights in Chicago.

[edit] John Burnside

The article states that in 1963 Harry Hay had a lover named John Burnside. It links to Scottish author John Burnside, who was born in 1955. Now, unless Harry Hay was a member of the radical wing of NAMBLA, this must be the wrong John Burnside :-)

I have removed the link. I'd suggest restoring it once somebody supplies a disambiguation page for John Burnside. --69.49.165.251 05:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
