The aim of Love Cults, Masquerading Gals, and Subway Sammies is to analyze the diverse LGBTQ+ subcultures that existed in mid-twentieth century Boston. Using the The Mid-Town Journal, one of the most valuable historical records for Boston’s LGBTQ+ community, this project employs data visualization, mapping, and historical contextualization to bring greater light the community’s history and culture.
