The Trouble With Harry Hay: Founder of the Modern Gay Movement - Timmons, Stuart

Clean, tight, unmarked; personal gift inscription on dedication page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In 1950, Harry Hay founded the Mattachine Society, and thus gave rise to the modern gay movement. Today, lesbian and gay activism is taken for granted. But four decades ago, it required a visionary and courageous spirit to organize gay people. Now, Sturart Timmons has chronicled those tumultuous early years of the homophile movement, and the colorful life of its founder. "While recounting Hay's life in rich full detail, Timmons has also crafted an evocative short history of gay life in Hollywood of the 1930s, of Communist Party membership through the 1940s, of the flowering of gay activism in the 1950s..and more."
