I have had the great pleasure of being included in some emails about the future of some boxes of papers from Mike Riegle. Mike was a radical queer writer for Gay Community News in the late 70’s to 80’s and died of AIDS at the young age of 48. Mike wrote to many, many queer and trans people in prison and organized a pen-pal program for GCN. The following is an excerpt from his talk, “Sexual Politics of ‘Crime’: Inside and Out”. This piece is published in the book, Speaking for Our Lives
