{"value"=>"<p>The Writing series includes published and unpublished work. Leitsch's journalistic output in the late 1960s and 1970s is well represented through manuscripts and published versions of Leitch's recurring <span class=\"title\">Gay</span> magazine column in the early 1970s; <span class=\"title\">The American Bicentennial Gay Guide</span>, a travel guide that Leitsch edited; and other essays, articles, and short stories by Leitsch. Leitsch published a considerable volume of straight erotic short stories under pseudonyms in the 1970s. Drafts and published clippings of these are included in this section. Several interviews with Leitsch, as well as those conducted by Leitsch, notably an early interview with a then-unknown Bette Midler, are also present. An incomplete memoir manuscript from the early 1990s and other book project ideas and fragments are present. Researchers searching for Leitsch's Mattachine Society of New York newsletter columns and other writings penned in his capacity as MSNY president will find them in Series III: Mattachine Society of New York.</p>"}
