Out of the Shadows: A Gay American Timeline from Police Raids to Stonewall Riots 1903-1969

By Charles L. Ross

"Out of the Shadows encapsulates an important era of LGBT history-the era when homosexuals were deliberately hidden from society. The timeline begins with a police raid on a bathhouse in 1903 when 26 men are arrested and seven are sentenced to prison for up to 20 years. The book ends with another police raid, in 1969 on a gay bar, the Stonewall Inn; and this time, patrons fight back. In between, the timeline records important political and social events as well as the gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people not just emerging from darkness but casting an enduring light."--Andrew Holleran author of Dancer from the Dance
