Summary

Last dance

Last chance, for love

Yes, it's my last chance, for romance, tonight

I'm not religious, but I like God and he likes me.

The research for this volume ends approximately with the 1990s. This is primarily because, as an illegal identity, the gay women's bar culture that predominated the female gay landscape and experience from 1945–75 did not, for the most part, survive past the 1980s. For some this experience ended in the early 1970s, for some bar attendees the bar remained “the only place.” However for gay women “coming out” in the mid-1970s and beyond, the lesbian bar was no longer “the only place,” nor was butch-femme the primary organizing principle for gay women.

This work is a beginning history of butch-femme culture, its primary meeting and organizing space, the gay women's bar, and its meaning.

How do you sleep when the rest of us cry?

… What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?

And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say.

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.
