Under the Rainbow
By Arnie Kantrowitz

Under the Rainbow is a genuine gay classic like few others: a moving account of a life that has bridged the gap between the world before the Stonewall riots and the world after. From growing up gay in the fifties to his involvement in the early gay rights movement, Kantrowitz writes about his life in all its aspects with wit, candor, intelligence, and a great deal of good feeling. Now revised and with a new foreword and afterword, it will remain an essential book for generations to come.

Praise for the new edition of Under the Rainbow:

"This is one of the very, very few books that successfully brings American gay life before the Stonewall rebellion to bear on what's happened here since. With a little help from his illustrious and loving friends, too many of them gone now, Arnie gives the best account I've read of the early years of the Gay Activist Alliance. But this is also a frank, tender, and often funny 'coming-of-age' tale, a pithy investigation of the nature and vocabulary of self-knowledge."
-- New York Native

"In 1977, Arnie Kantrowitz first published Under the Rainbow, a beautiful, moving memoir of growing up grimly before Stonewall and entering the new arcadia of gay life. Twenty years later, Kantrowitz's words and insights ring as true now as before. Under the Rainbow isn't simply an artifact of gay history -- although it is some of the best gay history around -- it is a book that lives and speaks to us today."
-- Michael Bronski, author of Culture Clash: The Making of a Gay Sensibility and editor of Taking LIberties: Gay Male Essays on Culture, Politics, and Sex
