Bøker av Will Fellows

From large cities to rural communities, gay men have long been impassioned pioneers as keepers of culture: rescuing and restoring decrepit buildings, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods. The author explores this complex dimension of gay men's lives by profiling early and contemporary preservationists from throughout the United States.

Vivacious, unconventional, candid, and straight, Helen Branson operated a gay bar in Los Angeles in the 1950s - America's most anti-gay decade. In 1957 she published her memoir Gay Bar, the first book by a heterosexual to depict the lives of homosexuals with admiration, respect, and love. In this new edition, Will Fellows interweaves Branson's chapters with historical perspective.
