A decade after the Stonewall rebellions, a small, all-gay press named Seahorse began along with Calamus Books and JH Press, which all came together to form Gay Presses of New York. Gay Presses of New York was not only the most successful gay press of its day, but the founders had made their move at the right time and place. Gay Presses of New York also played apart in the growth of what is now gay culture, consisting of bookstores, magazines, newspapers, theater companies, and art galleries. Many aspects of the arts, as they swirled around New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco during the 1970s through 1991 were connected to Gay Presses of New York.

Art and Sex in Greenwich Village: A Memoir of Gay Literary Life After Stonewall
The best thing about this book is certainly the anecdotes. WH Auden, when confronted by Picano about why he never wrote about being gay, responding, "Mother no longer remembers what gay sex is -- it was all so long ago." Or, the Village Voice books editor declining to assign a review of The Color Purple by saying "we're not particularly interested in lesbian negritude." (Who was that editor in 1981? Please divulge.) Then there's the part about Robert Mapplethorpe obsessively looking at any guy's crotch in search of the specimens he could feature in his sendup of 1001 Nights, but then somehow that segment of the book ends up being touching because of the way that even Mapplethorpe's legacy has been sanitized. (Maybe we see 1001 flowers or 1001 tasteful nudes, but 1001 cocks is not a book available at the nearest museum, Picano points out.) Not all of the anecdotes are this engaging, but it's certainly worth reading to find the gems.
