The Gay Metropolis 1940-1996
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Harcourt
- Publish date: 09/01/1998
The Gay Metropolis is packed with never-before-told scenes involving such famous people as Leonard Bernstein, John F. Kennedy, Montgomery Clift, and Alfred Hitchcock as well as such little-known people as Sandy Kirn, a young Brooklyn woman who first heard the word lesbian when a neighbor spied her with an arm around her girlfriend at the end of a wartime blackout.
Along the way we learn about the importance of films like The Boys in the Band and Cabaret, the effects of J. Edgar Hoover on gay life, how the disco scenes of the '70s and '80s advanced the cause, and much, much more. A vital telling of postwar American history, filled with dazzling characters, tragedies, and happy endings, The Gay Metropolis is above all exciting and uplifting. It is an extraordinary work.
