Publisher's Synopsis
How homosexuality was viewed a hundred years ago and how it is seen today are undoubtedly very different. John Malone looks back on this section of history not to merely summarise events but to analyse the influences they have had in shaping the Gay movement that exists today and how that movement will be defined in the future. This book addresses the present state of Gay culture and what is coming in the new century. Among the points discussed, the most important are: Gay Separatism vs. the Gay Mainstream; Same-Sex Marriage and Adoption; The Continuing Role of Homophobia in America; The Changing Impact of HIV/AIDS; The Politics of Homosexuality. This book is about how the many-faceted relationships between Gay people and the Mainstream are evolving and how they may play out in the challenging years directly ahead.
