| A very naive Thomas Kraemer in 1976 wearing a t-shirt with the slogan "touching your lifestyle" created by the new publisher of The Advocate David B. Goodstein. John Preston was the newly appointed editor in 1975 and he later became a famous author. Goodstein's purchase of The Advocate represented the first instance of a Wall Street establishment person trying to co-opt gay activism for profit. (See Dudley Clendinen and Adam Nagourney, "Out for Good: the struggle to build a gay rights movement in America," Simon & Schuster, 1999, Chp. 18 and p. 251) | An older, but not necessarily wiser, Thomas Kraemer shown in 2007 wearing a traditional Northwest beard and much thicker glasses that provide him with only partial vision. In the background is his Japanese garden covered in snow. And his t-shirt still fits! |
