Divine and more in 'LGBT: San Francisco'

This demonic snapshot of legendary drag performer and John Waters muse Divine performing at the Trocadero dance club in 1978 is reproduced from Daniel Nicoletta’s new photography collection celebrating the history of LGBT: San Francisco. Released just in time for New York City Pride Week 2017, this exuberant book gathers early photographs of Harvey Milk running for San Francisco Supervisor; set photography from Gus Van Sant’s film Milk, which Nicoletta played a role in making; anti-censorship demonstrations; AIDS awareness rallies; drag shows; gay bars; balls; parades; film festivals; street fairs; drug and alcohol recovery support spaces; fashion shows and more. Nicoletta has been a leading chronicler of the LGBT civil rights movement for over 40 years, and we congratulate him on his acclaimed first major monograph, published by Reel Art Press.
