Their mission? To encourage gay people to appear the second Black Panther–organized Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention in Washington, D.C., where they would join other liberationists from all around the country in writing a new American constitution.
Together, they spent six weeks on the road—Diana Ross and Mick Jagger on the radio, freedom and fear in the wind. Joel was the radical; Richard, the lover; Giles, the organizer; Jimmy, the enfant terrible; and Doug, the cipher.
