Description
Book SynopsisFrom the 1969 rebellion at Stonewall to battles over same-sex marriage, gay liberation in the United States was closely associated with the political left. This book offers the first extended consideration of gay conservatism and the trenchant critics who espouse its positions. It is for anyone interested in gay culture and contemporary politics.
Trade Review"This lucid analysis of conservative gay politics equally illuminates the positions of its left and liberal critics. Queer Wars is a most useful introduction to debates about the politics of sexuality in America today." - Jonathan Ned Katz, author of Love Stories "Nowadays it has become a rare pleasure to read a book on queer issues such as this one, written in clear, spirited and effective English, informed and insightful, and which, despite incisive criticism of its subject, manages to remain honest and fair." - R. A. Horne, Lambda Book Report"
