Are gay steel ls really a thg Ameri? * gay steel industry *
My goal for Steel Closets was to document what life and work meant to one group of the workers, as they experienced the gay rights movement and rapid dtrializatn simultaneoly.

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.
