‘Queering Rehoboth Beach’ author to sign books Sept. 1

Browseabout Books will host author and historian James T. Sears for a signing of “Queering Rehoboth Beach: Beyond the Boardwalk” from 1 to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 1, at 133 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach. 

“Create a More Positive Rehoboth” was a decades-long goal for progress and inclusiveness in a charming beach town in southern Delaware. Rehoboth Beach, which was established in the 19th century as a Methodist Church camp meeting site, has over time become a thriving mecca for the LGBTQ+ community.

In “Queering Rehoboth Beach,” Sears charts this significant evolution, drawing upon extensive oral history accounts, archival material and personal narratives.
