Another Side Of Pride: The Hidden Gay History of New York's East Village
< Previous Photo | Next Photo >
Back to gallery | See all galleries
Perhaps none of the East Village gay landmarks holds more personal meaning for me than the Club Baths. Closed by the city along with all the other gay bath houses during the 1980s AIDS panic, the Club Baths was converted into a trendy restaurant, Cave Canem. My ex-wife surprised me with a 40th Birthday party at this restaurant and it was on this night, in the former bath house, that I resolved to come out--which I did just a few months later. Gay porn star Arpad Miklos, wearing nothing but a Turkish towel, longs for the bad old days.

2. Loved your piece.gaytubs is not my site but it is the site I'm putting some of my photos and memorabilia of the new saint marks bath. All history is not lost. The only surprise is that I'm a lesbian doing this. The photos etc are being uploaded now so give him a chance to get the additional material listed. This site is 7 years old. The complete collection will be shown at the Leslie/Loman gay art founndation but I don't have the date yet. Hoping for JUne. It will be listed on the website or contact me Gail
