Beating London by years, the city of West Hollywood donated a former storage garage to the ONE Archives for a museum of gay history, which opened Saturday, on Coming Out Day. The inaugural exhibit looks at Los Angeles' gay pride parades from the beginning. The president of the board and curator of the collection is Joseph Hawkins, a professor of gender studies and anthropology at USC. He tells the LA Times the artifacts "show that we've been having this fight for a very long time, longer than most people think." Early editions of ONE's magazine call for "homophile marriage" as far back as 1953. Future exhibits will be devoted to lesbian pulp fiction and photographs of nude musclemen. Starting small, the space is 600 square feet and is open for four hours three days a week: Fridays from 4:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at 626 N. Robertson Blvd. Admission is free.

That's the kind of image that i really thing is super image like. If more images very real like this were out there we'd be super full of graet images in the world.
