Ever since the 1969 Stonewall Riots, "gay pride" has been the
rallying cry of the gay rights movement and the political force
behind the emergence of the field of lesbian and gay studies. But
has something been lost, forgotten, or buried beneath the drive to
transform homosexuality from a perversion to a proud social
identity? Have the political requirements of gay pride repressed
discussion of the more uncomfortable or undignified aspects of
homosexuality?
"Gay Shame" seeks to lift this unofficial ban on the investigation
of homosexuality and shame by presenting critical work from the
most vibrant frontier in contemporary queer studies. An esteemed
list of contributors tackles a range of issues--questions of
emotion, disreputable sexual histories, dissident gender
identities, and embarrassing figures and moments in gay history--as
they explore the possibility of reclaiming shame as a new, even
productive, way to examine lesbian and gay culture. Accompanied by
a DVD collection of films, performances, and archival imagery, "Gay
Shame" constitutes nothing less than a major redefinition and
revitalization of the field.
