在纽约市，就像在1950年代后期在许多美国城市中心一样，所有公开展示同性恋关系都是违法的。 同性恋酒吧发展成为一个地方，同性恋者，女同性恋者和被认为“性嫌疑犯”的人可以在相对安全的情况下社交，免受公众骚扰。 1960年代初，小市长罗伯特·瓦格纳（Robert F. Wagner，Jr.）发起了一场运动，以消除纽约市的同性恋酒吧。 由于担心1964年世界博览会期间该市的公共形象，官员撤销了同性恋酒吧的酒牌，警察试图诱捕并逮捕所有同性恋者。 1966年初，美国最早的同性恋权利组织之一马塔钦社会（Machachine Society）说服了新当选的市长约翰·林赛（John Lindsay），以结束瓦格纳的警察诱捕运动。
美国社会学论文代写段落赏析
In New York City, as in many U.S. urban centers in the late 1950s, all public displays of homosexual relationships are illegal. Gay bars have evolved into a place where homosexuals, lesbians, and people considered “sex suspects” can socialize in relatively safe situations from public harassment. In the early 1960s, Mayor Robert F. Wagner (Jr.) launched a campaign to eliminate gay bars in New York City. Fearing the city’s public image during the 1964 World’s Fair, officials revoked liquor licenses at gay bars, and police attempted to trap and arrest all gays. In early 1966, the Machine Society, one of the earliest gay rights organizations in the United States, persuaded newly elected mayor John Lindsay to end Wagner’s police trapping campaign.
