This book explores the linguistic and social practices related to
same-sex desires and identities that were widely attested in the
USA during the years preceding the police raid on the Stonewall Inn
in 1969. The author demonstrates that this language was not a
unified or standardized code, but rather an aggregate of linguistic
practices influenced by gender, racial, and class differences,
urban/rural locations, age, erotic desires and pursuits, and
similar social descriptors. Contrary to preconceptions, moreover,
it circulated widely in both public and in private domains. This
intriguing book will appeal to students and academics interested in
the intersections of language, sexuality and history and queer
historical linguistics.
