Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940, by George Chauncey

Recommended by Jason Byrd

Diving into a treasure trove of previously unexplored primary sources, Chauncey explodes the myth that gay life prior to the 1960s was lived primarily in the closet. From drag balls in Harlem to night life in the Bowery, Chauncey details the very public lives of gay men in New York City in the first part of the 20th century.

 

, by Juliet Jacques

Recommended by Jordan Ruud

In all the political debates about trans rights and trans lives, we often overlook the most crucial element: the lived experience of trans people. In this memoir, Jacques chronicles her own life as a trans woman, from her youth into the physical process of transition. Remarkably candid, this memoir sheds valuable and personal light on a hugely important topic.

 

by Sarah Waters,

Recommended by Dr. Lindsy Lawrence

A now iconic Neo-Victorian novel, Sarah Waters鈥檚 Fingersmith tells the story of Sue Trinder, an orphan raised as a pick pocket in nineteenth-century London by the Fagin-esque Mrs. Sucksby.

Burn the Page: A True Story of Torching Doubts, Blazing Trails, and Igniting Change, By Danica Roem

Recommended by Carolyn Filipelli

This is a book about how Danica Roem, a journalist, a musician in a heavy metal band, and the first openly gay transgender person was able to win a 2017 Virginia election, defeating the long-time anti-LGBTQ elected official Bob Marshall.  Interestingly, Roem accomplished this victory in part because she hired an opposition 黑丝内射视频 firm to dig up unfavorable events about her life and make them public.  This book is also about Roem's story of personal life transitions and her philosophy that you don't have to accept the narrative on the page you are given.  You can change your life and create the life of your dreams.

 

A Documentary History, by Marc Stein

Recommended by Dianne Werthmuller

From the publisher: 鈥�"On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the most important moment in LGBTQ history--depicted by the people who influenced, recorded, and reacted to it. June 28, 1969, Greenwich Village: The New York City Police Department, fueled by bigoted liquor licensing practices and an omnipresent backdrop of homophobia and transphobia, raided the Stonewall Inn, a neighborhood gay bar, in the middle of the night. The raid was met with a series of responses that would go down in history as the most galvanizing period in this country's fight for sexual and gender liberation: a riotous reaction from the bar's patrons and surrounding community, followed by six days of protests. Across 200 documents, Marc Stein presents a unique record of the lessons and legacies of Stonewall.鈥�
