520    Vivacious, unconventional, candid, and straight, Helen 
       Branson operated a gay bar in Los Angeles in the 1950s & 
       mdash;America's most anti-gay decade. After years of 
       fending off drunken passes as an entertainer in cocktail 
       bars, this divorced grandmother preferred the wit, variety,
       and fun she found among homosexual men. Enjoying their 
       companionship and deploring their plight, she gave her gay
       friends a place to socialize. Though at the time 
       California statutes prohibited homosexuals from gathering 
       in bars, Helen's place was relaxed, suave, and remarkably 
       safe from police raids and other anti-homosexual hazards. 
       In 1957 she published her extraordinary memoir Gay Bar, 
       the first book by a heterosexual to depict the lives of 
       homosexuals with admiration, respect, and love. In this 
       new edition of Gay Bar, Will Fellows interweaves Branson's
       chapters with historical perspective provided through his 
       own insightful commentary and excerpts gleaned from 
       letters and essays appearing in gay publications of the 
       period. Also included is the original introduction to the 
       book by maverick 1950s psychiatrist Blanche Baker. The 
       eclectic selection of voices gives the flavor of American 
       life in that extraordinary age of anxiety, revealing how 
       gay men saw themselves and their circumstances, and how 
       others perceived them.
