Bonck, H., John. (2015). Radical Faeries. GLBTQ Social Science, 1-3.
This article goes over the founders of Radical Faeries, the history, and what the Radical Faeries are. Some of the Radical Faeries borrowed ideas from separatist feminists; the idea that they want to be alone in the woods to nurture their spirit, magic and other beliefs while others were extreme political activists who wanted to change patriarchy and sacred sexuality. Both of these groups coexisted in rural sanctuaries. Some of the sanctuaries that they talked about in this article include the Short Mountain Radical Faerie Sanctuary in Tennessee and the Wolf Creek Sanctuary which was where Nomenus took place. The article talks about May Day and what “gatherings” entail. This article is a secondary source from a reliable LGBT journal and is acceptable to use in the Wikipedia page.

This article much like the article above informs us about the history of the Radical faeries and the founders. The reason I found this article to be important to my work is that on the Wikipedia page it only recognizes three founders of the Radical Faeries, but in this article it acknowledges four founders. These men include Harry Hay (the main founder), activist Don Kilhefner, Jungian therapist Mitch Walker, and John Burnside. This community brought spirituality within the gay liberation movement which led to a community where gay men, queers, and gender subversives came together to celebrate and support one another. This article is acceptable for Wikipedia because it is a secondary source article.

This work discusses how the term Radical Faeries got started and went into more detail about the history of the Radical Faeries. It specifically takes a great deal of time talking about the meaning of the name Radical Faerie and the juxtaposition of it. There were many studies on gay religion before the term faeries, but this term was not established until the 1970’s. The article discusses Arthur Evan who was the first man to start a faery circle in San Francisco. It then goes over the founders much like the other two articles do and it also, much like the second article, acknowledges four founders. Radical Faeries first appeared in the magazine RFD in 1979. This article is a secondary source which is acceptable for Wikipedia.

This essay written at the Antioch University in Los Angeles goes over the Radical Faerie movement. Of course like all the other articles it goes over the historical importance of the Radical Faeries. This movement was the first effort to organize gay-identified men on homosexual spiritual basis. This article, unlike the other two, states that there were only three main founders of the Radical Faeries. This is a secondary source that is acceptable to use on Wikipedia.
