PRIVATE AND PUBLIC: GAY BARS NEW YORK CY BEFORE 1970S

Instead of rercg the sufferg and opprsn of gays the 1960s, which for years were seen as the direct trigger of the rt, the goal of this paper is to stretch the landspe of the history of homosexual muni to the neteenth century and to articulate the gradual transn of this muny’s inty relative to the larger public. The ma argument of this paper is that the private and public bary experience of LGBTQ muni n be seen the way that gay bars acted both as safe spac and spac of nttatn New York Cy.

Their inti, night life, relatnship wh the other muni, and performanc gay bars reveal the role gay bars have played homosexual people’s social participatn public and private spher.

The historil nnectns between the velopment of gay bars and the nstctn of homosexual muni New York Cy were reprented by the navigatn between sens of public and private of homosexual people om 1920s to 1970s.

As a graduate stunt 1964, Nancy Achill observed that the sexual separatn by male nsumers saloons ntributed to the protectn of gay bars that “[I]t is such a mon type of tablishment that there is no great prsure om members of the larger society to ga accs to any particular bar (Gagnon, 1967, p.

New York homosexual muni were subject to more terror om the police and Mafia, and durg the 1930s to 1940s, New York State’s Liquor Authory (NYSLA) and New York Police Department (NYPD) closed hundreds of gay bars unr the New York State’s liquor laws. By sayg that “Dpe the efforts of management and clientele alike, the bar nnot, by s very nature, rema a totally private and segregated stutn, ” Achill poted out the nflict that gay bars need to be both public and private, as “The bar… be both the center of the private activi of the muny and s liaison wh the larger society (Gagnon, 1967, p.

By Esffier’s readg, this double life meant that stutns wh the potential to allow for private experienc, such as bars and baths, beme centers for the homosexual enomy.

Therefore, one sense the Mafia helped the homosexual muny by allowg them to go out of their private sphere but at the same time nfed them another non-pubic or semi-public sphere. Notably, this public sphere was not like Habermas’s amework that people gog to the gay bars were still ntrolled directly by the Mafia and directly by the police and uld not eely practice their polil and social power.
