Inhalt
The diverse landscape of gay and lesbian Philadelphia is a story of highs and lows. From rustic post-Civil War days when Camden poet Walt Whitman crossed the Delaware River on a ferry or caroused Market Street »eyeing« the grocery boys, to the beginnings of ACT UP more than 100 years later, the gay and lesbian community in Philadelphia has never lost its flair for the dramatic. This book is a historical look at the neighborhoods, events, and people that have been a part of this community. The 1920s saw the birth of private dance bars. Drag shows in straight bars were the order of the day. The pre-Civil Rights era, when segregation was the status quo, saw the proliferation of African American house parties in neighborhoods such as North Philadelphia, where black gays and lesbians formed a community. Later, the gatherings of friends and strangers helped set the stage for the Annual Reminder, the first public protest in support of homosexual equal rights.
