One Vogue writer catches up with photographer Neil Malcolm Roberts, who chronicled gay culture in the 1970s and early 2000s. Pride
and, a bi-weekly gay newspaper. He also photographed lots of famous people within the gay community. There is of course, Duane Michals, who spoke at The Strand back in March. Arthur Tress, the surrealist photographer. And George Stavrinos, the illustrator known for his work with Fendi and for Bergdorf Goodman. Neil also photographed a lot of everyday people in the community: A young black couple, dressed in low slung jeans and embracing, looking far past the aperture.
These few prints are what is left of Neil’s work that we know of. It was chucked in the early 2000s when Neil was evicted from his apartment in New Jersey. Neil had worked several jobs at photography companies, including with the bearded Hasids at B&H. When he was let go from there, he became a bike messenger.
There are no statistics currently on how many elder gay homeless people there are in New York, or the United States. According to Sydney Kopp-Richardson, Director of the National LGBT Elder Housing Initiative, those numbers are almost impossible to count. Many do not enter shelters because of safety issues or a perceived lack of safety. Much of the older baby boomer gay community who has survived the AIDs epidemic lead a lonely existence.
