“Where Whitman alludes to the pleasures of the flesh… James was somebody who lived it.” ~ Don Kilhefner comments on James Broughton in this extra footage from the new documentary Big Joy: the Adventures of James Broughton:
DON KILHEFNER, Ph.D., played a pioneering role in the creation of the Gay Liberation movement as a leader and organizer of the revolutionary Gay Liberation Front of Los Angeles (1969-1971). Don has helped organize many seminal organizations in the gay community including (with Harry Hay) the Radical Faeries, an international gay consciousness and spirituality movement. Don took the lead in creating Los Angeles’ Gay Elder Circle to help build an inter-generational network of queer community.
