This is the definitive visual account of the gay liberation movement in New York, following the Stonewall uprising in Greenwich Village in 1969, an event that marked the coming-out of New York's gay community. As a direct outcome of Stonewall, gay pride marches were held in 1970 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Fifty years later Pride will be celebrated in thousands of cities across the world.
Including more than 190 photographs by Fred W. McDarrah chronicling the movement in all its glory, the book includes reflective essays by major figures such as Alan Ginsbery, Hilton Als and Sir Ian McKellan.
Frederick William McDarrah (1926 – 2007) was a photographer at Village Voice for over 50 years. He became famous for documenting the Beat Generation, the New York art world, the New York School and the world of Abstract expressionism in New York City during the 1950s. After joining Village Voice, he chronicled the city, its people and its rebellions, including the Stonewall Riots and every annual Gay Pride that followed. His work is a record of the progressive ideas and politics born in the second half of the 20th Century, ideas that have shaped New York and the world ever since.
