520 $a Despite the tremendous gains of the LGBT movement in recent years, the history of gay life in this country remains poorly understood. 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.
