Book Synopsis

''Boisterous and uncompromising ... An important argument'' The Times

Only a few years ago, it seemed that the fight for gay rights was won in the UK: legal equality was achieved, prejudice rapidly dying out. Mission accomplished, right?

Wrong, argues Gareth Roberts. Homophobia is making a major comeback under the guise of the ideology of gender identity'. The enforcers of this new creed insist that attraction to people of the same sex is hateful'. They argue that effeminate men and butch women can't just be gay, but must really' be trans. Worse, this ideology has colonised the gay rights movement, capturing institutions like Stonewall and the gay press completely. Anyone who disagrees risks professional suicide.

So what happened to the funny, grown-up culture, truth-telling and knowing irony of many gay men? How and why was the older gay rights activism, which gifted such progress to homosexual people, hijacked?

In this passionate,

Gay Shame
