Henderson, Bill Bummer

Bill Henderson was in the famous June 26, 1964 Life magazine group picture that served as the beginning of the article, Homosexuality in America. The picture was taken in The Tool Box, a SOMA leather bar at the corner of 4th and Harrison. The Tool Box was open from 1962-1971. The bar (and the Life photograph) contained Chuck Arnett's iconic mural of a group of leathermen. For more of this history, consult social historians Gayle Rubin and Jack Fritscher, among others.
