A history of one of Sydney's largest subcultures - one that's been
hidden from history despite gay men's influence on Sydney's social,
cultural, economic and political life. Garry Wotherspoon's Gay
Sydney is an updated version of his 1991 classic, City of the
Plain, written in the midst of the AIDS crisis. Wotherspoon traces
the shifts that have occurred since then, including majority
support for marriage equality and antidiscrimination legislation.
He also ponders the parallel evaporation of a distinctly gay
sensibility and the disappearance of once-packed gay bars. This
book also tells the story of gay Sydney across a century, looking
at secret gay life, the never-ending societal debates about sex and
the role of social movements in the '60 and '70s in effecting
change. Wotherspoon gets personal too, writing about his own
experiences and the changes he has observed in Sydney's gay life,
having been a long-time resident of Oxford Street at the very heart
of Sydney's gay community.
