Summary

This issue of Gay Life magazine from July 1979 includes articles on Pittsburgh’s Birmingham Booksellers (a feminist bookstore), an uncrowded gay beach called Carpenter’s Beach, and the Canadian Show Train (a luxury rail experience that is gay-friendly). It also features an extensive survey of 5,000 gay people titled “The Gay Report,” and a guide to nude sunbathing.

The magazine promotes several upcoming local events, including the Blueboy Man of the Year Regional Finals, the Golden Triangle Picnic, and various club nights and performances. It also touches on current events relevant to the gay community, such as Governor Dick Thornburgh’s proclamation of Gay Pride Week in Pennsylvania, which was opposed by the State House, and a newly approved gay rights bill in Los Angeles.

The issue provides a directory of gay-friendly bars, clubs, and baths in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, along with a disco top fifty chart. It also contains classified ads for business services, job opportunities, and real estate.
