Protest Against Media Bias

Several dozen activists from the Gay Activists Alliance in New York City conduct a sit-in at the offices of Harper’s, a prominent nationally circulated monthly magazine. The previous month, Harper’s had run a cover story by Joseph Epstein who wrote, “If I had the power to do so, I would wish homosexuality off the face of this earth.” The protest won a good deal of media attention for the young gay liberation movement.
