GEORGE BAKAN
A giant who used the SGN to make Queer history by Renee Raketty SGN Contributing Writer Recently, I had the unenviable task of describing George Bakan, the former publisher of the SGN, to a group of diverse and talented writers here at the newspaper. Despite having a year to consolidate him into a single sound bite, I failed miserably. How do you describe someone who was a force of nature?
