Peter Robertson Speaks at United Student Pride Meeting
Peter Robertson’s topic is “GLSA + USP: The first three years (1987-1990),” which will include personal recounts of the struggles faced by the Gay Lesbian Student Alliance (GLSA) (today known as United Student Pride or USP) and the organizations’s journey to overcome arson and total destruction of its booth, personal and public homophobic attacks, an appearance on the campus by the Ku Klux Klan, and public fallout from within fr…om some of its very own members.
Included in his presentation will be historic articles and photos that appeared in both “The Daily Collegian” and “The Fresno Bee,” as well as recounting successes such as re-building a new booth, hosting a GLBTQ+ conference on campus that included guest speaker Cleve Jones, presenting two drag shows featuring the Fresno City Bulldrags and members of the Imperial Dove Court de Fresno, and launching the inaugural Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (today known as Fresno Reel Pride).
