Welcome to Houston LGBT History, which embodies my gay agenda of getting our history online. My approach is to compile information on many aspects of our culture, culled from our publications and coupled with photos and videos when available, and lots more. And there's quite a bit of history items from Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio...and the rest of Texas and beyond on these pages...I just can't help myself.... |

Site Launched
Pages for this site
began in May 2013, as part of my website Queer Music Heritage...that
really wasn't logical, but I already had that site...when it got too
big it jumped to its own site. |

This site is part of the JD Doyle Archives which has been approved by the IRS for 501c3 non-profit status, so all donations are tax deductible. If you enjoy my site, please consider a small donation. The site has a huge amount of PDF files and graphics, and well, it's an expensive site, requiring a large dedicated server. If you're moved to help share and preserve our culture's history It would be very appreciated. - JD Doyle |

And, a tip for using a search engine...it may send you to one of the hundreds of pdf files of publications in my archive, but it won't direct you to what page of the pub...(on Windows) try this...when you have the search result on the screen clicking "control-F" will bring up another search field (on my pc in the lower left) where you can repeat your search to (most of the time) hone it down a little. And, this is a bit unusual, I am providing a second search engine. It and the Google search at the top of the page have pros and cons. The Google search does all my sites at once, but is limited to 100 hits. The search engine below is only for this site and does not have a limit on hits, though it does show a few ads. |

The
book is finally out...
|
1981
My Gay American Road Trip: A Slice of Our Pre-AIDS Culture |
"1981.
Rich with promise and possibility, the post-Stonewall era
saw queer Americans standing up for themselves and each other like never before. With the rise of gay newspapers, bars, clubs, and businesses in cities all over the US, it was a time of hedonism, activism, pride, and community. A scene ripe for exploration and documentation, and journalist JD Doyle hit the road to do just that, traveling through 27 states to create a playful, intimate, profusely illustrated, one-of-a-kind record of gay life, love, lust, and liberation in the heady days before the devastating crisis that would change everything." (7/1/23) Yeah, the book is finally out, a five-year process, and my publisher wrote that...hey, he loves the book. |
