Outside of major metropolitan areas, the fight for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender rights has had its own unique and rich
history—one that is quite different from the national narrative
set in New York and California. Out in Central Pennsylvania
highlights one facet of this lesser-known but equally important
story, immersing readers in the LGBTQ community building and social
networking that has taken place in the small cities and towns in
the heart of Pennsylvania from the 1960s to the present day.
Drawing from oral histories and the archives of the LGBT Center of
Central PA History Project, this book recounts the innovative ways
that LGBTQ central Pennsylvanians organized to demand civil rights
and to improve their quality of life in a region that often
rejected them. Full of compelling stories of individuals seeking
community and grappling with inequity, harassment, and
discrimination, and featuring a distinctive trove of historical
photographs, Out in Central Pennsylvania is a local story with
national implications. It brings rural and small-town queer life
out into the open and explores how LGBTQ identity and social
advocacy networks can form outside of a large urban environment.
