Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940
By George Chauncey.
Description
Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Based on years of research and access to a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, this book is a fascinating portrait of a gay world that is not supposed to have existed. - from Amzon
