Looking to the queer past with an eye on photos, magazines, postcards: anything that speaks to us. We're interested in physique photography, gay pulps, vintage erotica, snapshots, and ephemera. Some items are available for purchase.
Levi Strauss & Co. denim jacket and jeans worn by Sean Penn, along with an official MILK poster, two 8x10 photos (by Biron) of Penn wearing the outfit, original prop business cards, original prop buttons, and the original prop postcard handed to Penn before his speech to the crowd: Sold on eBay on March 27 for $1,158.00. (Actor sold separately.)
Unfortunately, all items were dry cleaned before the auction (or the winning bid would certainly have been higher). In any case, the proceeds went to support the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association.
One small step for NLGJA. One giant leap for homobilia.
