A fabulous montage of word and image, Gay by the Bay is the first book ever to chronicle the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history of the San Francisco Bay Area. Vividly illustrated and engagingly written, this meticulously compiled volume captures the undisputed capital of queer culture as never before. Gay by the Bay celebrates Northern California's gay history in all its fascinating diversity, beginning with the gender-bending berdache societies of eighteenth-century Native Americans through today's Digital Queers. From the founding of Daughters of Bilitis in the 1950s to the first tentative steps of the gay liberation movement in the '60s, from the election of Harvey Milk and the emergence of thriving community in the exuberant '70s to the creation of the NAMES Project Memorial Quilt and life-and-death realities in the era of AIDS, queer history in the Bay Area encompasses some of the most compelling political and social events of our time.
Nearly 300 full-color and black-and-white photographs of historical memorabilia - including correspondence, posters, buttons, matchbook covers, and other artifacts culled from the Gay and Lesbian Center of the San Francisco Public Library, the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society of Northern California, and other archives, both public and private - providing an intriguing look at the origins and evolution of contemporary queer life.

From the Author
originally conceived the book as an exhibit.
As I was working toward the opening of the James C. Hormel Gay & Lesbian Center at the San Francisco Public Library, my colleague Susan Stryker, representing the Gay & Lesbian Historical Society of Northern California, asked what kind of inaugural exhibit was being planned. A historian, she was anticipating something along the lines of the far-reaching 'Becoming Visible' at the New York Public Library (now, finally, a book). During our early brainstorming sessions, I insisted that there be a catalog to preserve the research we were doing. When we realized, to our suprise, that there was no single history documenting the importance of San Francisco's role in the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, we decided that we would create that book. The end result, with its many images, extensive captions, and pull quotes, in addition to a very readable text, reflects its original conception as an exhibit. I don't know if it is true that authors write the book they want to read, but it was certainly true for us.
