A New York Times Notable Book of the Year and winner of a
Lambda Literary Award, The Gay Metropolis is a landmark saga
of struggle and triumph that was instantly recognized as the
most authoritative and substantial work of its kind. Filled
with astounding anecdotes and searing tales of heartbreak
and transformation, it provides a decade-by-decade account
of the rise and acceptance of gay life and identity since
the 1940s. From the making of West Side Story, the modern
Romeo and Juliet tale written and staged by four gay men, to
the catastrophic era of AIDS, Charles Kaiser recounts the
true history of the gay movement with many never-before-told
stories. Filled with dazzling characters — including Leonard
Bernstein, Montgomery Clift, Alfred Hitchcock, and John F.
Kennedy, among many others — this is a vital telling of
American history, exciting and uplifting.
