In revelatory detail, Robert W. Fieseler chronicles the tragic event that claimed the lives of thirty-one men and one woman on June 24, 1973, at a New Orleans bar, the largest mass murder of gays until 2016. Relying on unprecedented access to survivors and archives, Fieseler creates an indelible portrait of a closeted, blue- collar gay world that flourished before an arsonist ignited an inferno that destroyed an entire community. The aftermath was no less traumatic--families ashamed to claim loved ones, the Catholic Church refusing proper burial rights, the city impervious to the survivors' needs--revealing a world of toxic prejudice that thrived well past Stonewall. Yet the impassioned activism that followed proved essential to the emergence of a fledgling gay movement. Tinderbox restores honor to a forgotten generation of civil-rights martyrs."--Publisher's description 650 0 $a Gays $x History $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mass murder $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gay bars $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arson $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Homophobia $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gay liberation movement $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Arson. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815158 650 7 $a Gay bars. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939063 650 7 $a Gay liberation movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939104 650 7 $a Gays $x Violence against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765496 650 7 $a Homophobia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959727 650 7 $a Mass murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011417 651 7 $a Louisiana $z New Orleans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204311 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20220421174748.0 $m HYAX325 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210109010325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54DF8FD2524811EB9908E9352EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
