STEEL CLOSETS: VOIC OF GAY, LBIAN, AND TRANSGENR STEELWORKERS
* steel industry gay *
My goal for Steel Closets was to document what life and work meant to one group of the workers, as they experienced the gay rights movement and rapid dtrializatn simultaneoly.
Though I vised several archiv, cludg Rivers of Steel Homtead, PA, none mentned gay steelworkers at all. I would equent lol gay bars, and steelworker bars, and get faiar wh the culture. I talked to many gay-intified men who had equent sex wh them, but I uldn’t fd a way to talk to straight men who did.
And I had received ias about what gay and lbian people were, and how we acted.

I me to unrstand that if scholars look for what we thk of as gay people, we’ll miss many of the queer pleasur and possibili that exist.
Also, I imaged that blue-llar workers would be racist and homophobic.
