Learned so much from this wonderfully written book, including who it was that Edward Albee based his characters Martha and George on, and how Gypsy Rose Lee and Carson McCullers knew each other. The lens of gay Brooklyn provides new light on so many different aspects of our history--I would single out the literary, military, and theatrical, but another reader might easily discover other aspects; this book has so much to offer. A brilliant achievement.
I was a bit concerned that this might be a dry catalog of facts and events, aimed at historians, but it turned out to be a fascinating description of queer life that kept me turning the pages with its entertaining accounts of the goings-on in Brooklyn. The story begins in 1855 with the publication of Leaves of Grass, by a certain Walter Whitman, and ends in the 1960's when Brooklyn's queer identity declined, partly as a result of the demise of the waterfront and the closing of the Navy Yard in 1966.The author has unearthed an amazing collection of material on colorful characters of the period: female impersonators, male impersonators, and many other entertainers. And gay hangouts: cruising grounds, brothels, baths. And some of the scandals of the era: my favorite was the one that Walter Winchell called the "Swastika Swishery" about a male brothel full of sailors that was supposed to be a hotbed of Nazi spies during World War II (this one even resulted in Senate hearings). And the periodic lavender scares that targeted "degenerates."There was a thriving literary and artistic scene in Brooklyn, with such figures as Marianne Moore, Carson McCullers, Hart Crane, and many more. These all get covered, with often amusing stories of what they were up to. You don't have to be a Brooklynite to enjoy the book (my own experience with the city involved brief visits to gay friends in Brooklyn Heights in the early sixties). Lots of entertaining stories of a bygone era.
Fascinating. Eye-opening. Brilliantly put together. History that very much deserves to be told.I think the author did a wonderful job explaining complicated, nuanced issues like society’s evolving views on gender identity, sexual orientation, and even race. It was so enlightening to read how the contemporary mores and the changing scientific and psychological views of the times impacted queer people, as well as women and people of color of that period. I never realized before that queer people’s rights were actually threatened and constricted more with the passage of time, rather than less. Naively thinking that the further along the twentieth century, the better things got. Sadly, things got worse before they got better.The book is built up through glimpses into the lives of several (presumed) queer people of that period which makes it even more gripping and poignant, because we have actual people, faces and names to put on these facts. I very much enjoyed all the photos throughout the book, they help so much in visualizing everything. I was quite happily surprised by how many the author was able to find.I really enjoyed the writing style, which was incredibly informative and insightful, but never got too heavy or dry. Quite the opposite, in fact! I loved learning about Brooklyn’s queer history this way and I’ve highlighted numerous things along the way that I want to delve into deeper.Truly a wonderful read.
As a history teacher, New Yorker (parents and paternal grandparents born and raised in Brooklyn) and a supporter of the LBGTQ community I knew that I had to read this book as soon as I saw it on Netgalley. Luckily, I was approved and started reading it right away.From the first pages, you can tell the author had done a lot of research on Brooklyn’s history. I learned a lot about Queer lifestyle and Brooklyn itself. The stories about Queer people in Brooklyn was rich in information.Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I learned a lot about New York City history! Highly recommend if you are looking to expand your knowledge on the topic.
When Brooklyn Was Queer was a deeply researched and fascinating book.The history was absolutely intriguing. The author took the reader on a historical journey from 1855 to 1969. Along the way, the history of Brooklyn’s people and places came alive through a myriad of informative and captivating stories. For example, the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s role during the war was well known, but it was also a friendly place where LGBT met and even worked together. It was also interesting to read about Walt Whitman’s role in the prosperity of Brooklyn’s inclusiveness during his time living there. His poems added to the allure of Brooklyn and its people…especially for those who were able to decipher its meaning. Another interesting story involved the arrest of a cross dresser, which was not uncommon in 1913. Elizabeth Trondle wrote a letter to President Wilson asking for his permission to wear men’s clothing. But it was not just about the clothing. Trondle wanted to be respected and have opportunities for better paying jobs. She felt she could only have this life as a male.Of course, newspapers across the country published the letter. Trondle’s story not only drew attention to her cause, but society started to dissect and discuss sexology and queerness. There were those defending her actions, while others condemned her behavior. Unfortunately, so many years later, in today’s society, total acceptance is still hard to come by.Since I was born and educated in Brooklyn, I figured this would be an interesting book to read. I had no idea about this part of Brooklyn’s history. Well, I received an exceptional education by reading this book, and so can anyone else who enjoys not just history, but an absorbing read with the added benefit of educating yourself along the way.
