San Francisco Examiner: Gay In America (1989)
A Grayscale poster with a white background and a colored flag. A thin black line borders the poster with the text, “San Francisco Examiner” and a drawing of an eagle in the center. Large title text reads, “GAY IN AMERICA A 16-day special report.” In the center are five rows of groups of diverse people. People are of various ages, races, and fashion styles including drag queens. Some families include pets. At the center is a small red white and blue flag. Text at the bottom reads, “What is it like to live as a gay person in America 20 years after the Stonewall Inn riots knocked down the closet doors and forced the nation to confront its most virulently disliked minority? In an unprecedented 16-day report, the staff on the San Francisco Examiner has talked to thousands of people in the Bay Area and across the country to study gay Americans, American society and their uneasy intersection. Beginning June 4. Only in The Examiner.” At the bottom of the page in the middle of the border is the date “June 1989.” Small text underneath the border reads, “© 1989 San Francisco Examiner, all rights reserved. Poster Design: Gordon Struder/ Photographs: Chris Hardy.”
