The Boys in the Band

A seminal play of the gay movement was written in this apartment. After gays saw the boys in the band, they no longer would settle for thinking of themselves as pathetic and wouldn't be perceived as such any longer. Now that characters had brought their feelings out of the closet, this new generation would dare to be different. And just like some whites' view of blacks changed after seeing a raisin in the sun, so too did the outlook of many straights after they caught the boys in The Band.
