The gay community has a rich and colorful history.
So much of that history has been whitewashed by the media, or ignored entirely.
Even in the 21st Century our rights are under attack.
It is our goal to make that history
known and accessible to everyone.
The GayBarchives website is an excellent resource for information about the thousands of gay bars we loved and lost, and a repository of hundreds of interviews about our gay nightlife.

Decades ago, gay media was limited to an assortment of local bar guides and short-lived independent publications.
In the 21st Century, the gay media market has exploded into a massive collection of magazines, videos and websites exploring virtually every aspect of queer life.
Here are some links to some of those sources we thought you might like to investigate.
Please contact us with any others you think we should include.
