Mapping gay L.A. : the intersection of place and politics

Moira Kenney (Author)
Makes the case that Los Angeles better represents the spectrum of gay and lesbian community activism and culture than cities with a higher gay profile. This book shows how activists lay claim to streets, buildings, neighborhoods, and, in the example of West Hollywood, an entire city.
