Provided by Wikipedia
Randy Shilts
(August 8, 1951February 17, 1994) was an American journalist and author. After studying journalism at the
University of Oregon
, Shilts began working as a
reporter
for both ''
The Advocate
'' and the ''
San Francisco Chronicle
'', as well as for
San Francisco Bay Area
television stations. In the 1980s, he was noted for being the first openly gay reporter for the ''San Francisco Chronicle''.
His first book, ''
The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk
'', was a biography of LGBT activist
Harvey Milk
. His second book, ''
And the Band Played On
'', chronicled the history of the
AIDS epidemic
. Despite some controversy surrounding the book in the LGBT community, Shilts was praised for his meticulous documentation of an epidemic that was little-understood at the time. It was later made into an
HBO film of the same name
in 1993. His final book, ''
Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the US Military from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf
'', examined discrimination against
lesbians and gays in the military
.
Shilts garnered several accolades for his work. He was honored with the 1988 Outstanding Author award from the
American Society of Journalists and Authors
, the 1990 Mather Lectureship at
Harvard University
, and the 1993 Lifetime Achievement Award from the
National Lesbian and Gay Journalists' Association
. Diagnosed with
HIV
in 1985, Shilts died of an AIDS-related illness in 1994 at the age of 42.
