As the LGBT community prepares for the San Francisco Pride Celebrations, the de Young Museum has opened an exhibit of photographs by Anthony Friedkin. This weekend marks the 45 th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City, the spark that touched off the gay liberation movement. Works by the 12 artists in this visual history illuminate themes from those turbulent years. In the decades since Anthony Friedkin made The Gay Essay, LGBT photographers have continued to explore and expand the meaning of queer identity.
