520    "An electric and intimate story of 1970s gay Atlanta 
       through its bedazzling drag clubs and burgeoning rights 
       activism. Coursing with a pumped-up beat, gay Atlanta was 
       the South's mecca -- a beacon for gays and lesbians 
       growing up in its homophobic towns and cities. There, the 
       Sweet Gum Head was the club for achieving drag stardom. 
       Martin Padgett evokes the fantabulous disco decade by 
       going deep into the lives of two men who shaped and were 
       shaped by this city: John Greenwell, an Alabama runaway 
       who found himself and his avocation performing as the 
       exquisite Rachel Wells; and Bill Smith, who took to the 
       streets and city hall to change antigay laws. Against this
       optimism for visibility and rights, gay people lived with 
       daily police harassment and drug dealing and murder in 
       their discos and drag clubs. Conducting interviews with 
       many of the major figures and reading through 
       deteriorating gay archives, Padgett expertly re-creates 
       Atlanta from a time when a vibrant, new queer culture of 
       drag and pride came into being"--|cProvided by publisher.
