Gary Atkins. Atkins’ 2003 book “Gay Seattle: Stories of Exile and Belonging” tells the story of gays in Seattle and Washington state, starting in 1893, when the Legislature made homosexuality a crime, and moves forward through 100 turbulent years. The activist groups, the personalities, the tragedies of the AIDS era.

Douglas Crimp revisits art world, gay culture of 1970s New York

Douglas Crimp revisits art world, gay culture of 1970s New York | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

After art critic Douglas Crimp moved to the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in 1969, he became a regular customer at Max’s Kansas City, a restaurant and art bar on Park Avenue. Max’s had two rooms, one in front and one in back, and members of Andy Warhol’s Factory could reliably be found in the latter. As he passed through the front room, Crimp would greet the “artist-regulars” he had come to know during his first two years in the city, but he found himself inexorably pulled to the back, whose “charged atmosphere” he loved.
