Gay L.A.

The City of Angels is home to one of the most influential gay cultures in the world. In their new book Gay L.A., Lillian Faderman and Stuart Timmons combine broad historical scope with stories of real people, from Hollywood sound stages to the barrio, to chart Los Angeles' unique gay history. Larry talks with Timmons about how geography, economic opportunity, and a constant influx of new arrivals created a city that was more compatible to gay life than any other in America.
