” ― Left History From the Insi Flap "In this remarkable book, Nade Hubbs monstrat that our unrstandg of mornist Amerin culture will rema impoverished so long as we ignore the gay social works and patronage and distctly queer sensibili and idms that fluenced (to varyg gre) the work of the great mornist posers Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Samuel Barber, Ned Rorem, and Leonard Bernste, among others. "—Gee Chncey, Universy of Chigo, thor of Gay New York"What do mic have to do wh homosexualy, or homosexualy wh mic?

That is the qutn Hubbs explor through a breathtakgly origal history of the mid-twentieth-century gay Amerin posers who produced "Ameri's sound.

Her revery of the homosexual roots of Amerin mil mornism is ultimately a study the sexualy of culture self. Halper, thor of One Hundred Years of Homosexualy and Sat Fouult"Nade Hubbs's urageo and important book seeks both to rever the historil signifince of the prewar Amerin mornists and to nont some of the reasons behd the relegatn of their work to the closet.

GAY CENTURY SONGBOOK

ULTIMATE PRI PLAYLIST: THE 50 BT GAY SONGS

“Michael Korie, a lyricist, has nothg agast the plaque Greenwich Village markg the se of the Stonewall Inn where gay men battled police June 1969 and began the morn movement for lbian and gay rights.

Korie walks the streets of New York, he se many other plac where gay New Yorkers gathered the s before the now-legendary rebelln. There is no plaque on Columb Circle to memorate a Childs Rtrant where gay men created a “feteria society” the 1920s and 30s.

A new work wh lyrics by Korie and mic by Larry Grossman will try to do what the history books uld not — a llectn of songs that trac the evolutn of lbian and gay culture New York durg the first half of the century.

And while we’d never balk at an exce to celebrate everythg that Pri stands for, we also believe that any time is the perfect time to crank up the gay songs and let the rabow flag fly.

On s betiful face, Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’ is about a woman gettg over the guy who done her wrong; but 1978, as gay liberatn was gatherg steam heated nightclubs around the world, also played like a claratn of hard-won pri (‘I ed to cry / But now I hold my head up high’) and pennce om the hetero norm (‘I’m not that chaed-up ltle person still love wh you’).

Rerd at the height of Ameri's AIDS crisis and spired by New York’s unrground gay ball scene (famoly documented the 1991 film Paris Is Burng), Madonna’s ep-hoe–flected 1990 smash mands you to leave the heavy stuff asi—if only for a few mut—and fd salvatn on the dance floor. Nearly a quarter of a century later, this classic track om one of the most beloved gay ins of all time sounds no ls imperative.

But even now that so many closet doors have opened, ‘Over the Rabow’—and don’t you dare ll ‘Somewhere Over the Rabow’ lt someone threaten to revoke your gay rd—still spir pri and reverence. ‘A Ltle Rpect’ by Erasure‘What relign or reason uld drive a man to forsake his lover?’ sgs Andy Bell on this stirrg synth-pop classic — a h for Brish duo Erasure 1988, and a perfect, piquant rponse to the Brish ernment’s outrageoly homophobic Sectn 28 legislatn. Word is that at the time, Bell would troduce the song onstage sayg, ‘When I was a ltle girl, I asked my mummy, ‘Can I be gay when I grow up?’ She replied, ‘Y, if you show a ltle rpect.’’Image: Capol Rerds11.

‘Y.M.C.A.’ by Village PeopleFor any guy who’s ever wanted to be (or sleep wh) a wboy, p or leather-clad biker, the Village People reign supreme as gay-anthem chart toppers.

Along the way, the openly gay sisters stck a major blow for LGBTQ+ reprentatn mastream pop, which has steadily been improvg ever sce. ‘Go Wt’ by Pet Shop BoysWhen the Village People got all Horace Greeley 1979, was most likely a wk and a nod to the growg gay utopia of San Francis.

GAY CENTURY SONGBOOK

‘It’s Rag Men’ by the Weather GirlsGay ins Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Cher and Barbra Streisand all turned down Pl Jabara and Pl Shaffer’s mpy posn before the Weather Girls snapped up 1982.

‘Let’s Have a Kiki’ by Scissor SistersIn the summer of 2012, ‘Let's Have a Kiki’ was so ubiquo gay bars that nearly crossed over to annoyg. Mogue herself has said that the vio is an homage to her gay dience; featur a human pyramid of pansexual smoochg ( the style of naked-stallatn artist Spencer Tunick). The drag queen-slash-mogul buted this sassy h 1992, wng over not only gay fans, but an dience as wi as that of Nirvana’s Kurt Coba, who ced the song as one of his favor a year later.

‘Born This Way’ by Lady GagaNo one has ever mpaigned for a gay fan base que so openly as Lady Gaga, and her 2011 h ‘Born This Way’ was her most obv gift to our mographic. Really?), and the ncept of beg ‘born’ gay is kd of irrelevant and unsubtle.
