Has anyone read any LGBT history books? In my US since the Great Depression History seminar I took in the fall of 2015, I read Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution by David Carter. It gave a brief sketch of LGBT life pre-Stonewall which provided some context to what occured in 1969. And a year later in my US Metroplitian History seminar, one of the books we read was Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940 by George Chauncey. It was a long read and I didn't have time to read the whole book, but I did read about 4 chapters. Chauncey argues that gay men had agency and created their own urban space.
