Lavender Los Angeles by Tom De Simone
Los Angeles has always been a city of possibilities and reinvention. A youthful and independent spirit permeates the culture and gives a sense of freedom found in few other places. This environment provided fertile ground for the growth of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community that had a major influence on LGBT life in the United States. For most of American history, queer identities were only visible in forms of entertainment, with most of the culture existing underground and in fear. By the 1950s, however, a few brave gay people living in Los Angeles dared to challenge society s negative views on homosexuality. For the next two decades, L.A. produced the nation s first LGBT leaders, organizations, and publications, and gave birth to the national movement for LGBT equality.| SKU | Unavailable |
