Gay Gotham

Uncovering the disoriented history of gay, homosexual woman, bisexual, and transgender artists in New York City.

Queer people have always flocked to New York searching freedom, forging close-knit groups for support and inspiration. Gay Gotham brings to life the countercultural imaginative communities that sprang up over the last hundred years, a creative class whose radical ideas would determine much of latest culture. More than images both works of art, such as paintings and photographs, as well as letters, snapshots, and ephemera illuminate their personal bonds, scandal-provoking secrets at the time and many largely unknown to the universal since. Starting with the bohemian era of the s and s, when the pansy craze drew voyeurs of all types to Greenwich Village and Harlem, the book winds through midcentury Broadway as well as Fire Island as it emerged as a hotbed, turns to the post-Stonewall, decade-long savage party that revolved around clubs like the Mineshaft and Studio 54, and continues all the way through the activist mobilization spurred by the AIDS crisis and the change position toward acceptance at the century s close.
Throughout, readers encounter famous figures, from James Baldwin and Mae We

Why the hell did I think that this would be some kind of gay snatch book? Because it really isn’t. Yes, there are pirates and for all I know some of them might be same-sex attracted (the world seems to be, while maybe not queer-norm, at least generally accepting?) but they ar
