McCarty, Steven

NAME: Steven McCarty

Biography: (From Allen Young):

Steven McCarty formerly lived in West Virginia, and lived in Philly around 1968-70 and was involved in a gay crafts coop and urban commune of sorts called the Gazoo. He moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he interacted with many early gay liberationists, and later was one of the five founders of Butterworth Farm (with Arthur Platt) in Royalston, Massachusetts, in 1973. He moved back to California in the early 1980s and worked as a personal chef for Werner Erhardt, the founder of EST, the immensely popular human potential movement program. He was also an accomplished landscape painter. He died of AIDS in 1989. I am attaching a photo of Steven taken in 1973.
