Gay Sex in the 70s (2005)

A chronicle of gay culture in New York during the post-Stonewall, pre-AIDs era. Thirteen men and one woman look back at gay life and sex in Manhattan and Fire Island - from Stonewall (June, 1969) to the first reporting on AIDS (June, 1981). They describe the rapid move from repression to celebration, from the removal of shame to joy, the on-going search for "someone," the freedom before AIDS, the friendships, and brotherhood. bath house, 1970s, cruising, sauna, pier, lgbt, fire island, dance club, bathhouse, stonewall riot, gay bathhouse, pride parade, greenwich village, gay history, gay theme
