{"value"=>"<p>An interview with Gerard Brissette conducted by John D'Emilio on November 11, 1976 in El Cerrito, California. Brissette describes his initial contact with the Mattachine Society; his acquaintance with Harry Hay; Hay's interest in anthropology and his desire to organize Mattachine as a secret society with different orders; conflict between left-wing and right-wing members of the Mattachine Society; and the role of women and church members in the Mattachine Society. He mentions Mattachine branches in Laguna Beach, San Diego, San Francisco, Hollywood, and Los Angeles. He also discusses David Finn [sp?], an employee of California Governor Pat Brown, who was suspected by some gay activists of being an FBI agent.</p>"}
