Marty's is one of our longest-running history mysteries. Listed in national gay guides from 1962 to 1966, Marty's apparently offered our elders a safe space to be themselves before Stonewall. However, we haven't been able to confirm the street address, much less any context about what Marty's was or who it served. We welcome any available information about this location.
