1981. Rich with promise and possibility, the post-Stonewall era saw queer Americans standing up for themselves and each other like never before. With the rise of gay newspapers, bars, clubs, and businesses in cities all over the US, it was a time of hedonism, activism, pride, and community. A scene ripe for exploration and documentation, and journalist JD Doyle hit the road to do just that, traveling through 27 states to create a playful, intimate, profusely illustrated, one-of-a-kind record of gay life, love, lust, and liberation in the heady days before the devastating crisis that would change everything.
This is the trip he took.
The premier release to emerge from the partnership of QMH Press and New Texture, JD Doyle's eagerly awaited memoir and travelogue, 1981—My Gay American Road Trip, is now available in full color, fully illustrated hardcover and trade softcover editions. Get it from Amazon HERE.
