Protests, parades, riots and rallies characterized San Francisco’s Castro District from the late 1960s through the 1980s. The election of the first openly gay supervisor, Harvey Milk, in 1977, and the enormous strides the gay rights movement took toward achieving equality were primary interests of the community during those turbulent times. San Francisco became the national epicenter of LGBT activism in the 1970s. Gay men and women flocked to the city and the increasing population required more specific media coverage to cater to their needs. LGBT publications were soon created.
