A monumental history of the LGBTQ influence on popular culture,
from award-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling author. An
electrifying look at key moments in music and entertainment history
between 1955 and 1979, which helped move gay culture from the
margins to the mainstream and changed the face of pop forever -
from the ambiguous sexuality of stars such as Little Richard in the
1950s through to David Bowie, glam rock and Sylvester's 'You Make
Me Feel (Mighty Real)'. The Secret Public is a searching
examination of the fortitude and resilience of the gay community
through the lens of popular music and culture; it reflects on the
freedom found in divergence from the norm and reminds us of the
need to be vigilant against those seeking to roll back the rights
of marginalised groups.
