“‘GAY RAIDERS’ INVADE CRONKITE NEWS SHOW,” The New York Times (@nytimes), December 12, 1973. In the years following Stonewall, as the gay liberation movement grew rapidly, so too did the number of very public demonstrations on behalf of gay rights. In addition to most major American cities’ first Pride celebrations, the period from 1969 to 1973 saw the most successful actions of groups like the Gay Activists Alliance, Gay Liberation Front, Radicalesbians, and S.T.A.R. Despite the frequency with which gay activists publicly demonstrated against institutionalized anti-queer sentiment, mainstream press coverage of the movement either was non-existent or was condescending and rife with factual errors. Because the press would not come to the demonstrations, gay activists decided to bring the demonstrations to the press. Specifically, on December 11, 1973, forty-three years ago today, pioneer Mark Segal of the Philadelphia-based Gay Raiders posed as a reporter for a college newspaper and gained access to a broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. At about 6:45 PM, halfway through the show, Segal briefly interrupted the broadcast when he ran to Cronkite’s desk and held in front of the camera a sign reading “GAYS PROTEST CBS PREJUDICE.” Studio technicians quickly wrestled Segal to the floor and the network went black as he was removed from the studio. According to Segal, who also was affiliated with Gay Liberation Front, the action paid off. At his trial for trespassing, Segal’s lawyer called Cronkite to testify, and Segal spoke with the legendary anchor about gay liberation. From there, Cronkite arranged a meeting between Segal and CBS management, and Cronkite featured a segment on gay rights on his broadcast of May 6, 1974. Cronkite, as Mark Segal later said, “was the kind of man who believed in human rights for everyone [and] he was a bridge between the gay movement and major media.” #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #MarkSegal #WalterCronkite (at New York, New York)
