About Me
- Jerry Pritikin aka The Bleacher Preacher
- Chicago, IL, United States
- I spent 23 years in Exile in San Francisco, from the early 1960s until the late 1980s. I was a freelance photographer and publicist specializing in one-of-a-kind clients and businesses. My photos have appeared in books, exhibits and documentaries. I have been involved in politics,sports and theater promotions. For over 25 years I was known as the "Bleacher Preacher" in and around the "Friendly Confines" of Chicago's Wrigley Field. At 76, I was inducted into the Chicago Senior Citizen Hall of Fame for my contributions to GLBT history in 2012.This year I was inducted into the National Gay Sports Hall of Fame. I am always available to talk about my involvement in sports,politics and photography. Please leave questions or contact information.

Jerry,
I am humbled that someone who was a friend of Harvey Milk and many others from the movie enjoyed reading my blog. Thanks for the positive words! I checked out your blog and really enjoyed it, and will certainly continue reading. It was amazing to see all great photographs you took capturing the era.
The LGBT class I took had a profound effect on me. The class showed me all the progress that has been made in the LGBT movements fight for equal rights, but also opened up my eyes to all the discrimination towards LGBT individuals that still occurs, and all the hard work neccasary (by LGBT and also heterosexual folks) to achieve equal rights for LGBT people going forward .
Please continue to read my blog, as I will have several other posts regarding my journey of becoming a "comfortable and knowleagable heterosexual individual interacting with the LGBT community." I consider myself a a proud advocate for the LGBT community.
Welcome to Miss Pretty Kitty. My partner and I have four (I had two and he had three when we met; the ancient one has since gone to cat heaven (there is no cat hell)). They're great company. But cleaning litter for four of them is a daily chore. Congratulations on your new roommate. - Mark
Jerry, I'm sure Miss Pretty Kitty helps with lots of things around the house. Our little guy George is always trying to be helpful.
