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.

Hi Jerry. Not only are gay rights not just a local thing, but other countries have left us in the dust. Spain, Canada, possibly the UK (though they've instituted a system of apartheid with civil unions). In many ways the U.S. remains a leader, and in others we're a backwater. But at least it ain't Iran! mark
Mark...
History has many different factors...
as to how its recorded, or remembered, and by whom... it's quoted. I once read a quote of mine that I never made... and I liked it so much... I have used it since... and I don't feel like it plagiarism, since the quote was attributed to me... in the first place!
I never believed in quotas... for those left OUT... only know what it feels like to be so. I don't believe in guilt by association...
but sometimes reasons, one way or the other must define one's actions
or in actions.
Change is great, when it happens in your life time... and you had something to do about it.
I consider myself very lucky... and made mistakes trying to make the right moves... and seldom make the same mistake more than once...
Often, looking back... I enjoyed
seeing changes the effected others,too.
Cheers,
Jerry
