Combining historical method, symbolic interaction, and the concerns of John Dewey's pragmatism, the book explains why gay men created the meanings they did and challenges the prevailing view that the 1960s was merely the transformation of an assimilationist gay politic into a radical one.Gay communityCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistory20th centuryGay cultureCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistory20th centuryGay menCaliforniaSan FranciscoSocial conditions20th centuryGay menCaliforniaSan FranciscoSocial life and customs20th centurySan Francisco (Calif.)Social life and customs20th centuryGay communityHistoryGay cultureHistoryGay menSocial conditionsGay menSocial life and customs306.766209046Ormsbee J.
