An Evening at the Garden of Allah: A Gay Cabaret in Seattle (Between Men - Between Women: Lesbian & Gay Studies) Book

December 1946 saw the opening of America's first gay-owned cabaret, the Garden of Allah, in seedy downtown Seattle. Patrons filed down a white marble staircase to the basement of a once grand Victorian hotel, passing $1 through a peephole to enter an exotic, bacchanalian world of variety, vaudeville, and burlesque, presented by a cast of beautiful female impersonators. In the repressive, often violently anti-gay environment of postwar America, the Garden of Allah was a haven for spontaneity, outrageosness, and affirmation for its gay and lesbian clientelle, as well as a place where heterosexuals were encouraged to join in and have some fun!An Evening at the Garden of Allah takes readers back in time with its vivid, exciting oral history of this shining moment in America's gay and lesbian past.Read More
