Curt Greska ; Lloyd Sensat ; Randy Plaisance -- Toward a larger view of gay men. 330 $aFrom large cities to rural communities, gay men have long been impassioned pioneers as keepers of culture: rescuing and restoring decrepit buildings, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods, saving artifacts and documents of historical significance. This penchant to preserve, though widely observed, is typically ignored or dismissed as a stereotypical gay cliche?, even by many gay men themselves. This book explores this authentic and complex dimension of gay men's lives by profiling early and contemporary preservationists from throughout the United States, including oral histories collected by Fellows. This eye-opening book illuminates neglected facets of what it means to be gay and highlights contributions to the larger culture that gays are exceptionally inclined to make.--From publisher description. 606 $aGay men$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aCultural property$xProtection$zUnited States 615 0$aGay men 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection 700 $aFellows$b Will$01165241 801 0$bN$T 801 1$bN$T 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bE7B 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCBT 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bP@U 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bNLGGC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bALSTP 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIDEBK 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bCOO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bDEBSZ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAZK 801 2$bAGLDB 801 2$bMOR 801 2$bPIFAG 801 2$bZCU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIOG 801 2$bU3W 801 2$bINARC 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bWRM 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bVTS 801 2$bNRAMU 801 2$bICG 801 2$bINT 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bWYU 801 2$bTKN 801 2$bDKC 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bM8D 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bYKC 801 2$bVLY 801 2$bAJS 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bUNOMP 801 2$bYNT 801 2$bJSTOR 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736000803321 996 $aA passion to preserve$92729566 997 $aUNINA
