Miller Lite and Dr. Eric Cervini Spotlight Ten Pivotal Bars in LGBTQ+ History with Release of New Guidebook, 'Beers & Queer History'
CHICAGO, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its pre-order launch during LGBTQ+ History Month in October 2021, Miller Lite and Dr. Eric Cervini are now releasing physical copies of the new guidebook, 'Beers and Queer History', which explores the little-known stories of ten iconic queer bars throughout history. From New York City to San Francisco and many places in between, the book gives a historical perspective to some of the most treasured queer spaces both past and present including: White Horse Inn (Oakland, Calif.), The Chicken Hut (Washington D.C.), Black Cat Cafe (San Francisco), Julius' (New York City), Black Cat Tavern (Los Angeles), Rusty's (Philadelphia), The Stonewall Inn (New York City), Jeffery Pub (Chicago), Club One (Savannah, Georgia), Panic Bar (Lincoln, Neb.).
- The guide features original illustrations from Miller Lite and historical context from Dr. Eric Cervini, Pulitzer Prize nominee and celebrated LGBTQ+ historian.
- "It was thrilling as a historian to get an opportunity to dive into the stories of one of my favorite topics, historical queer spaces," says Dr. Cervini.
- "I'm honored to share these stories in partnership with Miller Lite as queer history so often goes unshared with mainstream society."
- In 2022, Miller Lite will donate an additional $200,000 to Equality Federation to support its network of state-based organizations focused on LGBTQ+ community advocacy.
