He was an active member of the Gay Liberation Front, the first radical gay organization to be formed after the Stonewall Rebellion in New York in June 1969. He co-edited Come Out!, the influential newspaper published by the Gay Liberation Front; the last three issues of the newspaper were published by the newspaper's collective from his apartment in Hell's Kitchen in New York.[2][3] In 1971, with two friends he co-founded the Gay Men's Health Project Clinic, the first clinic for gay men on the East Coast. The clinic openly advocated for gay men to use condoms, almost a decade before the advent of AIDS.[4][5]
He writes for The Huffington Post.[6] Perry Brass is member of the PEN American Center.[7] The New York City Public Library has a Manuscripts section with Perry Brass holdings.[8] In a BlogTalk Radio interview he gives background information about his book King of Angels.[9]
He has been a finalist several times for Lambda Literary Awards.[10] In 2012 King of Angels was a finalist for the Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction from New York's Ferro-Grumley Foundation.[11]
