This collection tells the stories of 11 American gay men who tried
to understand their indentities in the years before the modern gay
liberation movement began. From the 1920s through the 1960s, from a
variety of regions and social classes, the men describe their
families, early childhood experiences, coming out in settings
unlike the gay neighbourhoods and communities of today, and their
current romantic and sexual lives. For some men the military
presented the opportunity to explore their personal and social
identities; for others, a chance encounter in a seminary, an
accidentally-discovered gay bar, or a hetrosexual marriage provoked
them into exploring deeper needs and desires. The variety of
experiences illustrates the numerous ways individuals come to know
their gay selves in an often unfriendly and hostile world.
Interviews with a contemporary elder of the gay movement and a
heterosexual psychiatrist who argues against categorizing
homosexuality as a mental disorder, supplement the original 11
stories.
