| Summary: | Larry Bagneris was raised in a large, loving Creole family during the 1950s and early 1960s. In his memoir, Bagneris recalls his activist career, starting in New Orleans as a student leader in the struggle against racial injustice, later as founder of Houston's Pride Parade, and then, following a return to his hometown, as a political organizer and mainstay of the local gay community. Bagneris also relates his observations as he travels, builds community and finds family in queer spaces around the world-from San Francisco to New York, Tel Aviv to Bangkok. |
