Biography

American astrologer and sexologist in San Francisco, California, and a leader in the gay liberation movement. Arthur was asked by the Oracle staff to select the chart for the first Human-Be-In, thereby determining the date for that historic event. He helped Kinsey with his research into gay sexuality and wrote the now-out-of-print Circle of Sex (1966), which catalogued preferred sexual activities by sign.

The grandson of U.S. President Chester Arthur, the colorful maverick worked his way around the world as a seaman in the Merchant Marines. During his travels, he fought for the Irish Liberation movement, founded a literary magazine, prospected for gold, taught in San Quentin prison, was secretary of the Utopian Society, and led a commune. The gay community abounds with lore about his life and provocative suggestions of his adventures with a variety of eminent or notorious associates.

Beside his sexual relationships with men, Gavin Arthur married three women. He had no children. He died on 29 April 1972 at age 71 in Fort Miley Veterans Hospital in San Francisco.
