About this title

Synopsis

Covers a vast range of subjects, from the frivolous to the deadly serious, from issues of image and identity to gay icons and the gay world. It examines the history, struggles and influence to the gay community, and includes a magnificent spread of personalities and superb photo archive.

From Library Journal

Three London-based journalists attempt to capture here the vibrancy and diversity of gay culture and life in over 200 glossy pages. Although laden with beautiful photos and featuring a cutting-edge layout, the book ultimately falls short in imparting some vital information. In the opening chapter, for instance, readers may find the order of subjects confusing, as it covers everything from homoerotica to the Spice Girls. Further, the authors don't devote enough space to discussing the influence of the gay community on the fashion world, and they gloss over the subjects of gay activism and gay rights. AIDS, also given short shrift, deserves more than a four-page time line. On a more positive note, the book includes a tour de force of facts on everything from sex toys to contraception, as well as a couple of basic but useful maps highlighting cities popular with gays in the United States and abroad. There is also an engaging profile of gay writer Quentin Crisp. Although uneven in coverage and lacking a clear direction, this book may serve as an introductory look at the many facets of the gay community. For large public libraries.
