- Summary:
- Raymond (Ray) Broshears, one of San Francisco's most controversial gay citizens, was a community activist and ordained minister in the Orthodox Episcopal Catholic Church. The collection contains correspondence, ephemera, financial records, newsletters, photographs, and subject files. There are materials related to the Orthodox Episcopal Catholic Church, the Lavender Panthers, and files he collected on other ministries and religious figures. The collection includes scrapbooks documenting the Gay Activists Alliance, which Broshears founded in 1972, and materials related to Helping Hands Center, the gay community center he operated in the Tenderloin, as well as his newspaper the Gay Crusader (also known as the S.F. Crusader). Subject files include correspondence from, and flyers and articles about, the gay rights movement, political campaigns, and prominent San Franciscans. The papers also include legal documents relating to lawsuits and complaints filed by or against Broshears. There is very little documentation of his life before moving to San Francisco in 1967.
