Keith St Clare by Will Shellhorn, 2023.

He’s back in the story: Keith St Clare, the trailblazing mind behind Vanguard magazine—“gay liberation pre-gay liberation”—returns to share how he gave voice to the untouchables at a time when many in the movement wanted conformity over difference. From serving in the U.S. Air Force underage, to publishing Vanguard under his own name and address, to producing a youth TV show and fostering hundreds of children, Keith’s life is a testament to radical care and uncompromised visibility.


In this episode, you’ll hear about his fear, his courage, and how he chose writing joy, inclusion, and love over silence. His legacy isn’t just in the pages of a magazine—it’s in every life he lifted up and every unheard voice he amplified.
