Bambi Lake is one of the most fascinating and complicated chapters in the gay liberation revolution.
 
Bambi had a lot of issues (mental illness, drug addiction, homelessness), but she never gave up on the dream. Even at 70 years old, she was ready for her big break and to become David Bowie in a sequin gown. She is a great American performer. 
 
Bambi started in 1971 in San Francisco. She was a member of the free theater gender bending performance troupe the Angels of Light. That was a long time ago. She was ahead of the curve. Her song “Golden Age of Hustlers” tells you everything you need to know. Bambi laments, “I saw the best bodies of my generation, sold, bartered, and destroyed by drugs and prostitution.”
 
Her story is the ultimate American journey of survival. She was banned from a lot of places. Luckily, at the end of her life, Bambi became sober and launched a mini-comeback.
 
Bambi’s life reminds us that queer history belongs not only to the people who became famous, but also to those who struggled, survived, and refused to stop dreaming. We love her so much. That’s why we do what we do!
