- “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

- 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.
