ARE GAY STEEL LS REALLY A THG AMERI?
At W. W. Gay, we're more than a mechanil ntractor. We're proud to be a one-stop-shop where you'll fd there is not much we nnot do! * gay steel industry *
Though I vised several archiv, cludg Rivers of Steel Homtead, PA, none mentned gay steelworkers at all.
I would equent lol gay bars, and steelworker bars, and get faiar wh the culture. I talked to many gay-intified men who had equent sex wh them, but I uldn’t fd a way to talk to straight men who did.
And I had received ias about what gay and lbian people were, and how we acted. I me to unrstand that if scholars look for what we thk of as gay people, we’ll miss many of the queer pleasur and possibili that exist.
