Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation

After many decades of burial, the tragedy of Up Stairs Lounge has recently become a trigger for gays' liberation campaign. On June 24, 1973, Robert W. Fieseler reported a tragic event to the lives of 31 men and women at the New Orleans Bar. The largest scale of homosexual homicide.

With an unprecedented exposure to survivors and archives, Fieseler created immortal portraits depicting abandoned blue-collar homosexual world. The result is embarrassing that a loved one, the Catholic Church, rejects the right to burial and insists that the city is not affected by the needs of survivors - far more than Ishigaki. However, the subsequent enthusiastic radicalism is extremely important for the emergence of the homosexual movement just beginning. Tinderbox has recovered honor for the generation of forgotten citizenship martyrs
