Christopher Street - A Guide to Lesbian & Gay New York Historical Landmarks (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

After the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion, Christopher Street (site of the Stonewall Inn) became the best-identified gay and lesbian street in the country. For decades, men had traveled to its terminus at the West Street Piers, a popular location for sexual encounters. However, it was not until the mid-1960s that the street became a nationally recognized cruising ground. Christopher Street's development as a gay street was due, in part, to the migration of gay life towards the West Village, from MacDougal Street in the 1920s, to Eighth Street in the 1940s, and then west to Greenwich Avenue in the 1950s, and eventually to Christopher Street. Christopher Street's permanence as a gay enclave was sustained with the emergence in the 1960s and '70s of gay-owned and gay-friendly stores, and the proliferation of gay bars.
