GAY METROPOLIS (MASSAC COUNTY, ILLOIS)

There are pictur, cludg one of Otis, an actor and stage manager (the touchston of bety were different then, and the standards much kr) history lgbtq 964 reviews39 followersJune 30, 2011Kaiser has wrten a history of gay life Ameri om WW 2 to 1996 that is sure to grip the rear. Different eras emphasize different aspects of the gay experience: WW 2 we have gays battle (amazgly well tolerated for the time- so much for gays breakg down ary hivens); different eras ’s the lerary set, the theater (the groundbreakg premier of ‘The Boys the Band’, for stance), Stonewall, the bars and bathho, the begng of the AIDS epimic and the horrifyg number of aths that followed.

Favor first-edn gay Author 142 books226 followersReadNovember 13, 2011It’s almost funny to read how Otis Bigelow (famo to be the most handsome man of the ’40s New York Cy, and veted by lnair and artists) reported as beg gay “was an upsle thg to be”, but at the same time the thor reports as jt “across town om Park Avenue swells who entertaed him so lavishly their duplex apartments, a pletely different kd of gay life was thrivg Tim Square”. Otis Bigelow was not wrong as they were not wrong the obv fairi of Tim Square, they were simply navigatg different “hidn pla sight” approach was apparently pretty mon the ’40s, and so we learn om the memory of a fund boy om New England who wants to rema anonymo as he went to school wh John Fzgerald Kenney, and between the two, the outst was Kennedy; but there is also the si news of how JFK’s roommate, Lemoyne Billgs, was gay and how he remaed fay iend even after the print om the words of many gay men who was there and lived that ’40s atmosphere the general opn is that, you uld be gay sce you simply didn’t flnt .

That is basilly what Otis Bigelow and those other anonymo voic implied, you were ee to be gay as far as you were gay si “private” maybe that is the reason why, a perd when civil rights were startg to be a mon agenda of many policians, was not the same when those rights regard LGBT people. You were ee si your private home, btw if you were wealthy enough to have that safe home, but you were also ptive of your own goln is a long ssn voted to the gays the ary durg the WWII. Forster, and how Cadm was aware of Forster’s novel Mrice, a novel the thor refed to publish until after his ath to not damage his policeman “iend” (who was married) ’50s is a perd of phoria but apparently also started the perd when beg gay was dangero, and so should be hidn; if the ’40 you uld be gay si private walls, the ’50s even that eedom was a danger, and the walls of a room beme the more nfed space of a closet.

KEV MAXEN BE FIRST MALE ACH A US MEN’S PROFSNAL SPORTS LEAGUE TO PUBLICLY E OUT AS GAY

Maybe for this reason, late the ’50s the ma tenncy was to “blend” and you see gays people gettg married, wh or whout the knowledge of the ’60s see a surge of nscienc, all the level of society, and so also among gays and lbians.

New York saw not only the first relig ngregatn for gays, but also Columbia Universy beme one of the first lleg to give formal regnn to a gay stunts anizatn. Homosexualy exed om the closet and arrived televisn, wh a ground-breakg documentary, The bridge between the ’60 and the ’70 is Stonewall, and so om that moment on there will be always a pre and post-Stonewall gay and lbian movement and culture: “although lns would rema the closet, wh a year after Stonewall, thoands of men and women would fd the urage to clare themselv for the first time”.

Not only, beg gay, or at least bisexual, was almost “fashnable”, and many media, televisn, cema, publishg, the gay characters not only started to make their appearance, they were also, sometime, posively accepted by the mastream public. Gay subculture as began to acquire a sense of muny New York Cy and other large ci after World War 2, and then, the 60s, to move out of the closet and claim polil rights. I pecially liked the chapter on "The Forti" -- I hadn't realized how the mass mobilizatn of World War 2 brought together gay guys (and to some extent lbians) and allowed them to form their own ltle sub-groups wh their uns.

Some might fd the book too gossipy, but I thought was eful to fd out how pneers of the gay movement evolved as dividuals over the s. Sure, the book mostly foc on gay mal, and there are some notable people missg (for example, Eric Garber a.

But all serns, you have to give cred to the early pneers of the gay movement who were only able to experience their inti secret. :)77 reviews22 followersAugt 23, 2015WAY too foced on the whe male gay experience to really be a good, all-enpassg kd of ~gay history~ text. Dragoon-the-challenge history nonfictn 46 reviewsNovember 22, 2022Pretty good, but pretty much only foced on whe, middle to upper class gay men.

The way the overall narrative was stctured, too, seemed to tell the story of gay people’s stggl endg ultimately this proud moment of marriage equaly and all was happily ever after. Wh the foc on the ph for gays to be the ary, too, the 90s chapter felt like there was this unrlyg current that assiatn was a good and ultimate goal. I don’t like the notn that gay liberatn is “done” once we have equal accs to systems that themselv might not be good.

Lots of thgs I didn’t know about, pretty much all gay life pre-Stonewall was new and very fascatg, pecially chartg the changg nceptualizatn of gay inty over time.
