    Making LGBT Milwaukee Visible

    When author Michail Takach pitched us his history book LGBT Milwaukee, we agreed politely to look at it. Then we saw the wonderful photos and read the beautifully researched and very moving text. This book, consisting mostly of photos and detailed captions, takes us from the bad old days of the deep closet to drag queens most glorious, to mega-discos, and beyond. With over 150 images, many never before seen, the rich LGBT history of Milwaukee comes alive. With a foreword by Don Schwamb, founder and webmaster of the Wisconsin LGBT History Project. Available after August 22 at Arcadia Publishing.
