The Gay Metropolis
by Charles Kaiser
A history of gay life in New York from 1940 until 1996. Highly readable
stories about the celebrities, activists, writers and people who
brought us where we are now.
And The Band Played On
by Randy Shilts
A very important history of the AIDS pandemic, especially the first
five years, by Randy Shilts, a reporter for the San Francisco
Chronicle. The book illustrates in particular the very slow response
from the Reagan administration (including cutting funds and misleading
Congress) that cost so many lives.
Brave Journeys
and
Stranger Among Friends
by David Mixner
Brave Journeys relates the profiles of seven people who played a crucial role in the fight for gay rights and equality. Stranger Among Friends is the story of David Mixner, his role in the White House and what happened to gay rights during Bill Clinton's administration.
Both books tell an important part of our history that needs to be
read. Great inspiration to current and future leaders who continue the
work for full legal equality.
