On Bearing Witness:
Images and Reflections of the LGBT Movement 1969-1971
“Steven Dansky has documented in photographs the origins of one of the great civil rights movements of our time, the struggle for gay and lesbian equality. The photographs that he’s collected and archived tell the story of how a ragtag group of gay hippies became a liberation movement in the early 1970’s. In a half-dozen photo essays published in The Gay & Lesbian Review (many of them collected in On Bearing Witness: Images and Reflections of the LGBT Movement (1969-1971), Dansky has shared this visual journey with our readers, providing insightful discussion to elucidate the photographs at hand.”

“The images record history in a vital and meaningful way with some of the mid-20th century’s most historic moments.”

“The subjects of Steven Dansky's photos look us right in the eye, and his camera skills allow us to look into their souls. Marvelous!”
