20th anniversary of 1st gay march

Irvine -- Subversity, a KUCI public affairs program, today takes a stroll down memory lane, looking back at the first gay and lesbian march in Washington D.C. 20 years ago this past week.

The show airs from 5-6 p.m. today on KUCI, 88.9 FM and is Web-cast at kuci.org/listen.html with streaming audio or on MP3.

We will bring you speeches from the event and recollections from show host Dan Tsang, who marched with fellow Asians down the Black neigborhood and Chinatown in D.C. before meeting with the main marchers for the march to the Washington Monument.

Speeches at the rally include those by Kate Millett, Allen Ginsberg, Robin Tyler and Tom Robinson of the TRB band.

Gay Insurgent, which Tsang edited, in its 1980 #6 issue, reprinted speeches by Audre Lorde and Tana Loy at the people of color conference preceding the march. Michiyo Cornell'ss address at the Washington Monument during the main march is also reprinted there, as are essays on the event including one by videomaker Richard Fung. Gay Insurgent is available in the UCI Main Library, Call no. HQ 75 M528

Also on this evening's show will be an update on this week's CIA recruiters' appearance at UCI, and plans to demonstrate against their return visit on Tuesday. E-mail subversity@kuci.org if you are interested in participating in this possible protest.

Call (949) 824-5824 to chat with the host during the show.
