Jim Fouratt (1945- ) was a witness to and participant in the Stonewall rebellion that marked the birth of the modern lesbian and gay liberation movement. He was a founding member of Gay Liberation Front, the first post-Stonewall lesbian and gay activist organization, and staged and produced its iconic first poster (see lot 106). Fouratt was a founding member of HEAL and ACT UP, and also a founding board member of the New York Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center. At the time this photograph was taken he was in a romantic relationship with Peter Hujar.
