520    "Gay neighborhoods, like the legendary Castro District in 
       San Francisco and New York's Greenwich Village, have long 
       provided sexual minorities with safe havens in an often 
       unsafe world. But as our society increasingly accepts gays
       and lesbians into the mainstream, are "gayborhoods" 
       destined to disappear? Amin Ghaziani provides an incisive 
       look at the origins of these unique cultural enclaves, the
       reasons why they are changing today, and their prospects 
       for the future.Drawing on a wealth of evidence--including 
       census data, opinion polls, hundreds of newspaper reports 
       from across the United States, and more than one hundred 
       original interviews with residents in Chicago, one of the 
       most paradigmatic cities in America--There Goes the 
       Gayborhood? argues that political gains and societal 
       acceptance are allowing gays and lesbians to imagine 
       expansive possibilities for a life beyond the gayborhood. 
       The dawn of a new post-gay era is altering the character 
       and composition of existing enclaves across the country, 
       but the spirit of integration can coexist alongside the 
       celebration of differences in subtle and sometimes 
       surprising ways. More diverse options for how to structure
       gay and lesbian lives mean not the death of gayborhoods 
       but rather their unexpected growth.Exploring the intimate 
       relationship between sexuality and the city, this cutting-
       edge book reveals how gayborhoods, like the cities that 
       surround them, are organic and continually evolving 
       places. Gayborhoods have nurtured sexual minorities 
       throughout the twentieth century and, despite the 
       unstoppable forces of flux, will remain resonant and 
       revelatory features of urban life"--|cProvided by
