Deborah Craig – Documentary Filmmaker and Lecturer, San Francisco State University, Public Health Sally Miller Gearhart was a tremendous force and a bit of a mystery. She was at the forefront of the battle for gay rights in the 1970s, but for her last several decades lived in a modest and rustic cottage in the woods of Northern California. She was beloved in her small community but otherwise stayed largely off the radar screen. Sally has been described as a “beacon” and a “lighthouse” by lesbians who came of age in the 1960s through the 80s, but if you ask young LGBTQ+ / queer folks about her, you’ll mostly likely elicit a blank look. This talk will show scenes from the documentary-in-progress about her life and explore three key themes: History, Herstory, and Mystery.
