It’s closing time for an alarming number of gay bars in cities around the globe―but it’s definitely not the last dance.
In this exhilarating journey into underground parties, pulsating with life and limitless possibility, acclaimed author Amin Ghaziani unveils the unexpected revolution revitalizing urban nightlife.
