Over the past 75 years; gays and lesbians have experienced tremendous social change in America. Gay and lesbian culture; once considered a twilight world that could not be spoken of in daylight; has become today�s rainbow families; marriage equality victories; and record-breaking pride celebrations. For a medium-size Rust Belt city with German Protestant roots; Milwaukee was an unlikely place for gay and lesbian culture to bloom before the Stonewall Riots. However; Milwaukee eventually had as many�if not more�known LGBT+ gathering places as Minneapolis or Chicago; ranging from the back rooms of the 1960s to the video bars of the 1980s to the guerrilla gay bars of today.

A chance to connect with students who produce music on their phones. or the rock guitar player who wants to collaborate with her best friend who is a clarinetist. Allsuprsquo;s text is an invitation to consider alternatives in a field where the ends can often feel fixed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
