NOTE

No 4, Summer 1977. was published every six months in London by the Gay Left Collective between the years 1975 and 1980. The collective, initially of nine gay men, espoused radical leftist politics, influenced by Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984). combined theoretical articles with reviews and political reports, and examined gay culture in the broadest sense. Gays on film was an ongoing theme and there were pioneering articles on Gay Art, the music of Tom Robinson and disco as an expression of gay consciousness.
