scopecontent

{"value"=>"<p>Files in the Other Employment and Household Concerns series pertain to non-activist, non-writing paid work Leitsch performed to pay personal expenses and to supplement often unpaid volunteer roles he held over the course of his life. This series is a testament to the diminished earning potential that publicly out LGBTQ+ people of this time period faced and its specific impact upon Leitsch's life. Files hold resumes; job application cover letters; a bartending school diploma; menus and bar supply lists; material on a gay club Leitsch managed in the late 1970s called Warehouse Pier 51; and correspondence documenting occasional personal financial turmoil and disputes with the landlord of his longtime residence on the Upper West Side.</p>"}
