The (Almost) Lost Gay History of Brooklyn

Hello All,
So one of my favorite readings this semester was Chauncey's "Gay New York," because of its ability to resurrect the city at that time. As a New Yorker myself, it was really fun to go back in time and imagine what NYC used to be, and how those elements linger today. I came across this article that focused specifically on the queer history of Brooklyn, and there's an interesting little video embedded as well.

Enjoy!
