More about the book

The book delves into over 125 years of LGBT history in the nation's capital, highlighting the establishment of safe spaces by lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals before and after World War II. It examines the resilience of these communities in the face of severe anti-gay campaigns and their efforts to advocate for equal rights. Through extensive archival research and personal interviews, Genny Beemyn reveals how race, gender, and class influenced the formation of gay social networks in a racially segregated environment.
