Book excerpt: An unabashedly campy travel guide to the attractions of gay and lesbian New York -- The series has developed a cult following among both tourist and locals -- A companion edition to Betty and Pansy's Severe Queer Review of San Francisco -- Convenient pocket-size edition This campy, irreverent travel guide to New York City, with annotations by Betty and Pansy, takes the queer traveler and resident alike through an unending array of bars, clubs, restaurants, cruising areas, and other attractions of lesbian and gay New York. From the historic gay landmarks of the West Village and the gym queens of Chelsea to the cruising venues of Times Square and the lesbian hangouts of Park Slope, Betty and Pansy are as trashy and opinionated as only two queens can be. Cattiness, sarcasm, dish, and dirt -- it's all here. Yet Betty and Pansy are also veteran travel writers -- Betty wrote and self-published Severe Queer guides to Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. This edition features an expanded lesbian section that includes Brooklyn resources, as many lesbian restaurants and other hot spots are located across the bridge. "... pulls no punches in its assessments of San Francisco gay entertainment -- hysterically funny and frank". -- Rough Guide to San Francisco

Download or read book The Bars Are Ours written by Lucas Hilderbrand and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gay bars have operated as the most visible institutions of the LGBTQ+ community in the United States for the better part of a century, from before gay liberation until after their assumed obsolescence. In The Bars Are Ours Lucas Hilderbrand offers a panoramic history of gay bars, showing how they served as the medium for queer communities, politics, and cultures. Hilderbrand cruises from leather in Chicago and drag in Kansas City to activism against gentrification in Boston and racial discrimination in Atlanta; from New York City’s bathhouses, sex clubs, and discos and Houston’s legendary bar Mary’s to the alternative scenes that reimagined queer nightlife in San Francisco and Latinx venues in Los Angeles. The Bars Are Ours explores these local sites (with additional stops in Denver, Detroit, Seattle, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Orlando as well as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Texas) to demonstrate the intoxicating---even world-making---roles that bars have played in queer public life across the country.

Download or read book The Ellis Island Snow Globe written by Erica Rand and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-07 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Ellis Island Snow Globe, Erica Rand, author of the smart and entertaining book Barbie’s Queer Accessories, takes readers on an unconventional tour of Ellis Island, the migration station turned heritage museum, and its neighbor, the Statue of Liberty. By pausing to reflect on what is and is not on display at these two iconic national monuments, Rand focuses attention on whose heritage is honored and whose obscured. She also reveals the shifting connections between sex, money, material products, and ideas of the nation in everything from the ostensible father-mother-child configuration on an Ellis Island golf ball purchased at the gift shop to the multi-million dollar July 4, 1986 Liberty Weekend extravaganza celebrating the Statue’s centennial just days after the Supreme Court’s un-Libertylike decision upholding the antisodomy laws challenged in Bowers v. Hardwick. Rand notes that portrayals of the Statue of Liberty as a beacon for immigrants tend to suppress the Statue’s connections to people brought to this country by force. She examines what happened to migrants at Ellis Island whose bodies did not match the gender suggested by the clothing they wore. In light of contemporary ideas about safety and security, she examines the “Decide an Immigrant’s Fate” program, which has visitors to Ellis Island act as a 1910 board of inspectors hearing the appeal of an immigrant about to be excluded from the country. Rand is a witty, insightful, and open-minded tour guide, able to synthesize numerous diverse ideas—about tourism, immigration history, sexuality, race, ethnicity, commodity culture, and global capitalism—and to candidly convey her delight in her Ellis Island snow globe. And pen. And lighter. And back scratcher. And golf ball. And glittery pink key chain.
