This LGBTQ history of Boston and Provincetown begins with the coming of Europeans to Massachusetts in 1620 and ends with the victory over the referendum to overturn transgender rights in 2018. It includes the many high points of these four hundred years: the torrid romances of nineteenth century actress Charlotte Cushman, the glamorous nightlife of 1950s Boston, the wild times of 1970s Provincetown, and the great outpouring of happiness that accompanied the country's first same-sex marriages. And it describes the tragedies: murders of trans women and gay men, the terrible waves of repression of the 1920s, and the devastation of the AIDS years. It documents how LGBTQ people have been present in the region at least since the coming of Europeans and how LGBTQ people had developed a political consciousness and were advocating for their rights well over a century before Stonewall. This is an important book for anyone who has lived in or visited this historic city and fabulous resort or anyone who cares about the history of LGBTQ people.

Out in Central Pennsylvania tells the unique and relatively unknown story of the LGBTQ community in central Pennsylvania. Drawing from oral histories and historical documents, this book describes how gender and sexual minorities built community and social networks in a culturally conservative region. Largely associated with metropolises such as New York City and Los Angeles—and rarely considered in rural areas—LGBTQ history and the continued fight for equality and acceptance is a fact across the nation. While the concentrated populations of large urban centers have presented opportunities for LGBTQ individuals to congregate and build communities, the same cannot be said for places such as central Pennsylvania, which lacks distinct neighborhoods and has comparatively few places for such marginalized people to gather. LGBTQ activists in the region instead had to find other, inventive ways to build community at home. This history records these efforts, from the 1960s to the present, recounting how leaders of grassroots support organizations built a far-reaching LGBTQ community network and organized to demand civil rights and improve their quality of life.Full of compelling stories of individuals grappling with inequity, harassment, and discrimination, and featuring a unique trove of historical photographs, Out in Central Pennsylvania is a Pennsylvania story with national implications that both brings rural LGBTQ life out into the open and explores how LGBTQ identity and social advocacy networks form outside of a large urban environment.
