Description
"Robert W. Fiesler chronicles the tragic event that claimed the lives of thirty-one men and one woman on June 24, 1973, at a New Orleans bar, the largest mass murder of gays until 2016. Relying on unprecedented access to survivors and archives, Fieseler creates an indelible portrait of a closeted, blue-collar gay world that flourished before an arsonist ignited an inferno that destroyed an entire community. The aftermath was no less traumatic--familes ashamed to claim loved ones, the Catholic Church refusing proper burial rights, the city impervious to the survivors' needs-- revealing a world of toxic prejudice that thrived well past Stonewall."--Amazon.com.
