Skip to main content. The award-winning, field-defining history of gay life in New York City in the early to midth century Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed.
