Titel

Record player Technics SL-D2

Beskrivning

Record player used at Stockholm’s Gayradio when it began in 1979. Examples of artists often played were the Village People, Tchaikovsky, Rod Stewart, Tom Robinson, Frank Zappa, Joan Baez. The aim was for the music not to be representing heterosexual norms. The signature melody was ”Birdland” by Manhattan Transfer, describing club life in New York.

Alternate Description

According to Johan Falk, one of the organizers at Stockholm Gay Radio, the strength of the radio media in 1979 was that people secretly could listen to the show with headphones. Homosexuals that had not come out with their sexuality in public could take part in "homosexual culture" and this way get some homosexual role models. He also claims that the LGBT organization RFSL was vitalized thru the radio station. The record player is since 2008 a part of the traveling LGBT exhibition “Article 1″.
