Book Synopsis
A rich and definitive history of the gay rights movement's West Coast origins

Trade Review

“White skillfully weaves informative studies of key leaders such as Harry Hay with illuminating analyses of the movement’s overall developments. Highly recommended.”--Choice


“White details this history for posterity with dedication and attention to detail. For historians and those interested in the evolution of the movement for homosexual rights in Los Angeles, Pre-Gay LA emerges as a valuable reference tool.”--Bay Area Reporter

"This book reminds us how much we owe to the men and women who, more than half a century ago, bravely stood up against prejudice, how hard they worked, how human they were, and in the end how admirable. Todd White has written a carefully documented account of people and organizations engaged in a struggle for gay rights many years before Stonewall."--Gay & Lesbian Review
