QUEER & GAY BERL: YOUR GUI FOR LGBTQ+ BERL

What began as a personal reference for the Californian and his iends soon morphed to a thrivg enterprise ak to The Negro Motorist Green Book, which safely shepherd Ain Amerin travelers across the untry durg the Jim Crow era, but for gay men and, to a lser extent, lbian women. Ccially, Damron’s Addrs Book never explicly intified s target dience (at least until 1999, when the word “gay” was first prted on s ver), stead relyg on phemisms, nuendo and d abbreviatns to circulate rmatn wh the queer muny. Tled Mappg the Gay Guis, the project aims to “rrect the cultural erasure of historil geography” by spotlightg lol muni’ oft-unherald queer history and, adds Gonzaba, explorg “how that muny relat to other parts of the untry.

Mappg the Gay Guis isn’t the first digal history project dited to Damron’s Addrs Books or the numero sp-off guis the publitns spawned. As Gonzaba explas, “This is one publisher and one guy’s view of what the gay world looked like. In 1964, the year Damron first published his Addrs Book, gay sex was nsired a crime every state except Illois, and the Stonewall Uprisg, wily creded wh sparkg the ntemporary gay rights movement, was still five years away.

Damron’s Addrs Books weren’t the only gay travel guis available durg the latter half of the 20th century, but as Mappg the Gay Guis pots out, “They were the origal and remaed the gold standard, pecially for men, through the 1990s.

But by intifyg patterns the body of work Damron left behd, the rearchers hope to learn more about his dividual character, cludg the implic bias he had as a gay, whe man om the progrsive astal cy of San Francis. Acrdg to Gonzaba, Damron often classified s popular among gay Ain Amerin men the Amerin South as not only “B” (“Blacks Frequent”), but “RT, ” or “Rnchy Typ”—shorthand for tablishments emed “ls than reputable. Mappg the Gay Gui’s ma functn is prervg and publicizg an overlooked, unr-studied chapter LGBTQ history.

Damron’s guibooks refute this misnceptn, ttifyg to the existence of what Gonzaba ems “thrivg” gay muni ci across the untry long before Stonewall and other ton the gay rights movement.
