Notes and Reading:

  • Most of the specific history of the White Horse was learned from “Sanctuary: the Inside Story of the Nation’s Second Oldest Gay Bar” by David Olson, reprinted in its entirety on the White Horse’s website).
  • “Gayola: Police Professionalization and the Politics of San Francisco’s Gay Bars, 1950-1968,” by Christopher Agee.
  • June Thomas’ series) on the past, present, and future of the gay bar from Slate a few years back.
  • Various articles written on the occasion of the White Horse’s 80th anniversary, including this one) from SFGATE.Com
  • Michael Bronski’s A Queer History of the United States). * Radically Gay), a collection of Harry Hay’s writing.
  • Incidentally, I watched this interview) with Harry Hay from 1996 about gay life in SF in the 30’s multiple times because it’s amazing.
