Gay liberation in the eighties

About this book

"Gay liberation is no longer just the concern of a minority. Gay attitudes toward sexuality, gender and the family are a direct challenge to received wisdom, and established reaction is fierce. This book describes both the origins and the forms of society's oppressive reaction; it shows, too, how that oppression is being resisted. Reaction in the communist countries is compared to that in the West. Above all, the authors provide a programme for change which would ensure that gay people and heterosexuals are no longer separate and opposed groups. "Gay liberation in the eighties" is at once a guide to radical politics and a manifesto."--back cover.
