   • 1996 September, Doreen Drury, “The Gay Capital of the World”, in Gay Community News, page 22:

     The first notable issue in Gay by the Bay is that images of white people far outnumber those of people of color. The issue this raises is not about balance, but instead concerns who represents generic "gayness" or "queerness"? Which images are universalized and why? How and why are certain issues represented by particular bodies?
