About the Author
Jack Parlett is a historian and writer whose work illuminates the vibrant histories of LGBTQ+ communities in America. With a keen eye for the interplay between personal stories and broader cultural narratives, Parlett delves into the evolution of queer spaces and identities across the twentieth century.

Drawing on archival materials and oral histories, Parlett's scholarship not only preserves forgotten voices but also challenges conventional histories, offering readers a deeper understanding of resilience and joy in the face of adversity.
