Gay Seattle : stories of exile and belonging
Gary Atkins (Author)
Traces the evolution of Seattle's gay community in the 100 turbulent years since 1892, when the Washington State legislature began passing laws that essentially made homosexuality a crime. Through a century of stories, the book tells how gays and lesbians have sought to achieve a sense of belonging in Seattle
