 * "disco...was instrumental in shaping understandings of femininity, Blackness and homosexuality. Although the many histories of disco emphasize its role in these processes most studies nevertheless exclude women's visions from disco's narratives"
 * Disco queens in the gay liberation movement
 * "Studies have stressed the underground roots of disco, from the gay enclaves of Fire Islands 'Tea Dances' in the mid-1960s, to David Mancuso's New York private loft parties at the beginning of the decade"
 * "as early as 1979, journalist Andrew Kopkind dubbed the decade the 'Disco Years' (1979)
 * disco was cultural, not just musical, and provided community
 * previous decade's sexual revolution
 * "The most cited and exhaustive account on disco's movement is offered by Tim Lawrence (2003) in Love Saves the Day (LStD), named after David Mancuso's inaugral Valentine's Day party in 1970".
 * "Disco was experienced in many different ways by various and diverse but often unifying groups."
 * Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, and Chaka Khan

"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer music in the United States" by Philip Brett and Elizabeth Wood

 * German sexology around the turn of the 20th century- "the art of music, the music profession, and musicology thus were all shaped in the 20th century by taboos around homosexuality that contributed to a widespread belief that music transcends ordinary life and is autonomous of social effects or expression"
 * "Lesbians...were treated as a minority not only because of their sexuality but also, in most musical contexts, because of a hierarchical gender system that pressed all women into certain roles...castigated them for transgressing these, and put severe obstacles in their path toward others"
 * "During the 1970s gay and lesbian musicians began to find the means to give their sexuality musical expression in various interesting ways, often by a radical reinterpretation of an existing musical genre or institution"
 * Lesbian-feminist or women-identified singer songwriters started emerging immediately after Stonewall
 * Women-only music festivals, women's coffee houses
 * Gay and lesbian bands and choruses- around 1973, NY, spreading to Philly and SF by '78
 * "The musical theater has been a special place for gay identification and expression"
 * Gay men love and are involved in the production of it: Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, Noel Coward, Marc Blitzstein, Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Stephen Sondheim
 * Lesbian producer, Cheryl Crawford
 * Coded messages for homosexual audiences- Coward's "Mad about the Boy"; Porter's "Farming", tomboy Maria in Sound of Music

 * Male and female impersonations, singing as part of cross-gender performances
 * Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith recorded overtly lesbian songs in the 1920s
 * "Later, rock and roll included homosexuality among its counterculture effects, through flamboyant performers like Little Richard and songs like his 1956 hit 'Tutti Frutti', and even Elvis Presley's 'Jailhouse Rock' (1957), with it's reference to homoerotics behind bars."
 * Janis Joplin's bisexuality
 * "Born in [B]lack gay New York clubs in the late 1960s, disco became the pulse of gay liberation on and off the dance floor in the post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS 1970s".
 * Mass popularity reflects "yet another infusion of homosexual subculture into the cultural mainstream"
 * Disco Demolition, Disco Sucks campaign
 * "David Bowie and others who responded to the 1970s bisexual chic would no longer advertise their sexual ambivalence or pretend to be gay, and gay performers in the mainstream were usually guarded, and their songs still coded".
 * "The year 1990 saw the first forcible 'outings' of celebrities and politicians, and recuperative appropriation of the queer label by activists and academics"
