While common sense would suggest that there were few literary images of gay male life before Stonewall, the truth is that as early as the forties respectable publishing houses released many novels with primary homosexual characters.

A collection of gay erotic writings tracing the development of a gay identity from the late 19th century to just before the Stonewall Inn riots
Long before the rise of the modern gay movement, an unnoticed literary revolution was occurring, mostly between the covers of the cheaply produced pulp paperbacks of the post-World War II era. Cultural critic Michael Bronski collects a sampling of these now little-known gay erotic writings―some by writers long forgotten, some never known and a few now famous. Through them, Bronski challenges many long-held views of American postwar fiction and the rise of gay literature, as well as of the culture at large.
