Gay men, lesbians, and the otherwise queer were an essential part of "The Sunshine State." Placing them at the center of this story exposes the unique interactions of capitalism, tourism, sexuality, and space. More than just a story of repression, this work also seeks to illuminate the fun that could be had on what came to be known as "The USA's Gay Riviera" by the early 1990s. 650 0 $a Gays $x History. $z Florida $x History. 650 0 $a Tourism $z Florida $x History. 650 0 $a Gay travelers $z Florida $x History. 650 7 $a Gay travelers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939233 650 7 $a Gays $x Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939305 650 7 $a Tourism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153142 651 7 $a Florida. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205150 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010010649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBC82B60CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
