This issue of Lesbian & Gay News, published in February 1980 as the second anniversary issue (Vol. 3, No. 1), covers major events and issues affecting lesbian and gay communities in Northern California and beyond. Key articles report on a large march in Sacramento supporting anti-discrimination legislation (AB 1), local activism such as the Cotati City Council's ban on gay discrimination, and responses to violence against gay people in Butte County. The issue highlights a two-week boycott against the film 'Cruising' for its negative portrayal of gay men, discusses attacks and harassment faced by the community, and provides analysis on lobbying efforts against discriminatory immigration laws. National and international news includes updates on legislative efforts, anti-gay bills, feminist and civil rights advances, peer support groups, and the intersection of religion, politics, and morality campaigns. The publication features editorials, community event listings, literature reviews, and advertisements for local businesses and services relevant to the lesbian and gay community. The format includes black-and-white text and images, with a tabloid layout across seven pages.
