Under the rainbow: Growing up gay

Under the rainbow: Growing up gay by Arnie Kantrowitz. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780688031916.

Originally pulbished in 1977, unavailable for more than a decade, Karnowitzs Under the Rainbow is one of the few genuine gay classics. In an immensely moving account, Karnowitz writes of growing up gay before Stonewall, trying to come to grips with his sexuality at a time when it was generally perceived as an illness; his discovery of the early gay rights movement; and becoming a nationally recognized activist for gay rights.
