More than a dozen years later, now openly gay Boyer began collecting stories of this enduring ritual from queers who survived it. These stories form the basis of \u003ci\u003eKings and Queens: Queers at the Dance.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into two major sections: \u003ci\u003eBefore Stonewall\u003c\/i\u003e begins around the time of the Depression and ends at the 1969 uprising. These stories suggest what it was like to come of age before the gay rights movement really began, before the word \u003ci\u003egay\u003c\/i\u003e assumed its current meaning. \u003ci\u003eAfter Stonewall\u003c\/i\u003e charts queers' progression from closet to mainstream. Not intended as a definitive retelling of gay history, \u003ci\u003eKings and Queens\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates how growing up gay has -- and has not -- changed over the years. It is a bumpy but irresistible ride through a history that has been unspoken for too long.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Soft Skull Pr","offers":[{"title":"Kings and Queens: Queers at the Prom | David Boyer | Paperback | 9781932360240 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks R 1787017","offer_id":67793552408728,"sku":"1787017","price":21.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51uTG2OY7SL.jpg?v=1792766813","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/kings-and-queens-queers-at-the-prom","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
