Tuesday's Child (newspaper)
''Tuesday's Child'' was a short-lived counterculture underground newspaper published in Los Angeles, California, in 1969–1970. Self-described on its masthead as "An ecumenical, educational newspaper for the Los Angeles occult & underground," it was founded by ''Los Angeles Free Press'' reporter Jerry Applebaum, Alex Apostolides, and a group of ''Freep'' staffers who left ''en masse'' after disagreements with Art Kunkin to found their own paper. ''Tuesday's Child'' was edited by Chester Anderson. Overview Along with the usual underground paper staples of drugs, rock and roll, and New Left radical politics, ''Tuesday's Child'' devoted a good deal of space to the occult, with a number of issues printing arcane and obscure material by the occultist Aleister Crowley. The paper "is also notable for its decidedly queer stance and heady admixture of sex, politics, and mysticism. Its pages often feature first-hand reportage of happenings in the Greater L.A. queer community ('GAY POWER ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Queer'' is an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or cisgender. Originally meaning or , ''queer'' came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century. Beginning in the late 1980s, queer activists, such as the members of Queer Nation, began to reappropriation, reclaim the word as a deliberately provocative and Gay liberation, politically radical alternative to the more assimilationist branches of the LGBT community. In the 21st century, ''queer'' became increasingly used to describe a broad spectrum of non-normative sexual and/or gender identities and politics. Academic disciplines such as queer theory and queer studies share a general opposition to Gender binary, binarism, normativity, and a perceived lack of intersectionality, some of them only tangentially connected to the LGBT movement. Queer arts, queer cultural groups, and queer political groups are examples of modern expressions of queer identities. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Berkeley Tribe
The ''Berkeley Tribe'' was a radical counterculture weekly underground newspaper published in Berkeley, California from 1969 to 1972. It was formed after a bitter staff dispute with publisher Max Scherr and split the nationally known ''Berkeley Barb'' into new competing underground weeklies. In July 1969 some 40 editorial and production staff with the ''Barb'' went on strike for three weeks, then started publishing the ''Berkeley Tribe'' as a rival paper, after first printing an interim issue called ''Barb on Strike'' to discuss the strike issues with the readership. They incorporated as Red Mountain Tribe, named after Gallo's one gallon finger-ringed jug of cheap wine, ''Red Mountain''. It became a leading publication of the New Left. ''Berkeley Tribe'' quickly positioned itself as more radical, counter-cultural and politically astute than Scherr's ''Barb''; it soon became more successful, surpassing an initial press run of 20,000 reaching a high point of 60,000 copies by the spr ...
