Lesbian and Gay Richmond - (Images of America) by Beth Marschak & Alex Lorch (Paperback)

Lesbian and Gay Richmond is a comprehensive photographic showcase of the history of LGBT people in Richmond, Virginia, spanning almost 400 years.

From the first recorded sodomy prosecution in America in 1624 to the fight to repeal the crimes against nature laws, this book invokes a rich but uncelebrated past.

The book presents a visual narrative of events, people, and places that have been a part of this history, including snapshots from the 1920s and 1930s when avant-garde and gay authors caroused and shared ideas in private homes, as well as previously untold stories from the post-World War II era.

The book is now available for purchase through The LGBT Richmond Resource.
