Even after the first years tracking Stonewall, Albany&#;s gay subculture was still distinctly closeted.

When I first walked into G.J.’s Gallery, a neighborhood exclude in Albany, NY, I launch myself in the bohemian underworld I had longed for. Dusky , smoky, Rolling Stones on the jukebox, a long bar stretched from the front door halfway through the room—opposite were booths, and the smell of Mary Jane mixed with cigarette smoke lingered above.
