"Chicago After Stonewall: Gay Lib to Gay Life" is by award-winning historian, journalist, and Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame inductee, St Sukie de la Croix - author of the groundbreaking Chicago LGBTQ history book, "Chicago Whispers: A History of LGBT Chicago Before Stonewall.""Chicago After Stonewall" is a detailed account of how LGBTQ Chicagoans responded to the Stonewall Riots. The book pulls together jigsaw pieces of information from many sources, including a wealth of documents held in the McCormick Library of Special Collections at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, to reveal a picture of a raggle-taggle band of dysfunctional rebels with one cause.In post-Stonewall Chicago, several attempts were made to publish a gay newspaper, but none lasted. The longest was the "Chicago Gay Crusader" with twenty-six issues, between 1973-1975. However, the paper was irregular and a hangover from the 1960s hippie underground press in style. It wasn't until June 20, 1975, when Grant L. Ford published Volume 1/Number 1 of "Chicago Gay Life," that Chicago boasted a professional gay newspaper.However, from the Stonewall Riots until the publication of Chicago Gay Life, there was no reliable source for local gay news, only irregular gay publications like "The Paper," "Mattachine Midwest Newsletter," or hippie underground/alternative rags, "Seed," "Kaleidoscope," "Reader," and "Second City," and college newspapers like "Maroon" and "Roosevelt Torch."This book begins with Stonewall and Henry Weimhoff, a University of Chicago student, and ends with the first issue of Gay Life on June 20, 1975, and an impassioned editorial by Valerie Bouchard for the community to "come together, unite, and focus on similarities and not differences."
