Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940

Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940

Gay New York by historian George Chauncey “brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed.” The book “forever changed how [society thinks] about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond.”
