According to conventional wisdom, gay liberation started with the Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village in 1969. The 1970s represented a moment of triumph{u2014}both political and sexual{u2014}before the AIDS crisis in the subsequent decade, which, in the view of many, exposed the problems inherent in the so-called âgay lifestyleâ. In Stand by Me, the acclaimed historian Jim Downs rewrites the history of gay life in the 1970s, arguing that the decade was about much more than sex and marching in the streets. Drawing on a vast trove of untapped records at LGBT community centers in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia, Downs tells moving, revelatory stories of gay people who stood together{u2014}as friends, fellow believers, and colleagues{u2014}to create a sense of community among people who felt alienated from mainstream American life. 650 0 $a Gay liberation movement $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Gays $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gays $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gay rights $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 14 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073234.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024150.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012835.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706013952.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210910010108.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022015.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204083239.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065144.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006094954.0 952 $l MWPB943 $d 20180712042301.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20170620011038.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20170118034802.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160524010849.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=504D1948FC8611E5BDD7DC96DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
