1979 March on Washington
for Lesbian & Gay Rights
October 14, 1979
Photo Gallery - Page 11

These photos were borrowed from the Botts Collection, and then digitized. They were taken
by Larry Butler. I need some help in identifying many of the people in them, especially some
of the pre-March rally speakers and performers, which is why I have numbered them.
If you can ID someone, please
email me with the name and photo number. Thanks!

Legendary beat poet Allen Ginsberg was as known for his poetry as for his obscenity trial battles.
At the Rally he read "Song" from his most known book, "Howl" and his lifelong partner
and poet Peter Orlovsky read from his also controversial book, "Clean Asshole Poems & Smiling Vegetable Songs."

From it he chose the poem "Someone Liked Me When I Was Twelve."
