The City Nightclub: A Community of Queer Youth in Portland, Oregon 1977–1997
From 1983 to 1997, The City Nightclub was an all-ages gay nightclub in Portland, Oregon. By design, the venue made youth sexuality and sexual identity explicit, an acknowledgment that placed the club in a complex and often contentious relationship with local authorities and some members of the local community.
“There is only just now beginning to be much work on queer youth considered historically and this will be a great addition to that literature.”
