Renato Corazza

Renato Corazza (Right) pictured with young NAMBLA supporter Dennis J. Wardrop. They both appeared in the TV documentary Chickenhawk, with Wardrop speaking positively of his "empowering" sexual experiences as a child.

Renato Corazza was a publicly identified member of NAMBLA, an open and self-identifying boy-lover. Corazza was editor and the main layout artist for the NAMBLA Bulletin in the 1980's, and produced a series of photo works he called "Made in the USA," with a total of 8 books in the series. Renato also took to answering the phone line of NAMBLA's New York Chapter, with his voice being the message callers would hear, telling them: "Be proud to be a boy-lover."

Renato appeared in the TV documentary, Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys, where he is shown being harassed by Tom McDonough, the founder of the conservative, anti-homosexual organization Straight Kids USA. In the film, McDonough and members of the National Traditionalist Caucus engaged themselves in a harassment/defamation campaign against Renato, flagging him in the street and carrying out abusive phone calls labeling him a "baby raper."
