Race, sexuality, and nightlife historian to speak at Lycoming College
Williamsport, Pa. — A queer historian will be giving a lecture on gay nightlife at Lycoming College later this month. Lycoming College’s 51st Ewing Lecture will host Eric Gonzaba, Ph.D., for a talk entitled, “The Night the Gays Made: American Gay Nightlife after Stonewall,” on Tuesday, March 24, at 7:30 p.m., in the Trogner Presentation Room of Krapf Gateway Center. A reception will follow, and the event is free and open to the public. Gonzaba’s talk will explore the blossoming of gay nightlife across the United States beginning in 1970, and invites listeners to consider how bars, baths, and other nightlife spaces were central to how everyday gay men experienced freedom in the aftermath of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. While histories of gay liberation often emphasize activism, court cases, and political organizations, this lecture shifts attention to the far more common experience of American gay men whose primary encounter with gay community took place after dark. Informed by digital history methods that make a national perspective now possible, the talk draws on hundreds of thousands of listings from historical gay travel guides. Gonzaba shows that gay nightlife was remarkably widespread across the United States, not an isolated urban anomaly but
