Before Brokeback: Gays In the Old West

“[A]s a new series at the Autry National Center [in L.A.] shows, the presence of homosexuals and transgender individuals in the American West is much older than the movie might lead you to think. It is, in fact, almost as old as the West itself.” The series, called “Out West,” includes “a gallery tour, panel discussions, lectures and performances to be rolled out in four installments over the course of 12 months.”
