Gay Birmingham Remembered

A gay wilderness

1957

Birmingham as I recall, as far back as 1957, was a gay wilderness, in so much as the new comer to town only made inroads on the scene, if he was known by someone who had already made it. This was because of the very strict laws and the taboo of being gay in the respect of jobs etc., and also the queer bashing.
