Contents
Early life
Born Henry Hay, from 1936 to 1938 he worked on the End Poverty in California campaign, the Hollywood Writers’ Mobilization, the American League Against War and Fascism, the Mobilization for Democracy, the Workers’ Alliance of America and Labor’s Non-Partisan League.[3]
Activism
In 1950, Hay was a founder of the Mattachine Society.
The original founders of the Mattachine Foundation were all either former CPUSA members or fellow travelers. The first step Hay took in organizing the Mattachine Foundation was to recommend to the CPUSA that he be expelled in 1951 after eighteen years as a member. Rather than do that in light of his years of service to the party and work as a teacher at the California Labor School,[4] they released him as “a security risk but a life-long friend of the people.” The early leadership of the Foundation shaped the organization to reflect the cell structure of the Communist Party, in which "secrecy, hierarchical structures, and centralized leadership predominated." [5] Hay and his comrades began circulating the anti-war Stockholm Peace petition against the US campaign in the Korean War which was sponsored by the USSR and the East European Communist parties [6] at a gay beach in Los Angeles. Some of the contacts they gained in this way were later organized into their first study and discussion groups. The first months produced hundreds of members.
Hay was a regular speaker at North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) Conferences; NAMBLA continues to carry a special tribute to Hay on its homepage along with his published material. Hay was known for making public statements to justify sexual abuse of minors. In 1983 Hay addressed a NAMBLA conference in New York. Hay said,
