Description
Gay Bar: A History of the Gay Bars of London, San Francisco and Los Angeles The gay bar has long been a place of joy, solidarity and sexual expression, where people from all walks of life could come together to be themselves. But in urban centres around the world, these iconic venues are closing, leaving behind a void that must be remembered and understood. In Gay Bar, Jeremy Atherton Lin takes us on a journey through the history of gay bars in London, San Francisco and Los Angeles, from the post-AIDS crisis years of the 1990s to the present day. With prose that is both playful and challenging, Lin immerses us in the unique experience of a life lived in and out of these spaces, revealing the stories and experiences of those who frequented them. Through his own experiences and observations, Lin sheds light on the significance of these bars as a space for self-expression, community and connection, and explores the impact of their decline on the LGBTQ+ community.
