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 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.

Sce the homosexual muni New York cy before 1969 were mostly unrground, the bt way to exame the navigatn between public and private is to unrstand how gay bars New York Cy mataed their multiple natur.
