It struggles on, but Gay Sydney isn't what it used to be--a shining international beacon of hedonistic homosexuality that was an economic and a political force. This very engaging book tries to find out what happened to gay life. Robert Reynolds talks to numerous gay men--some whose lives are committed to struggling for gay rights, others whose major struggle has been for the right to party and some for whom being gay is no big deal. The book raises lots of questions about what being gay means as gay life becomes mainstream.Gay pride paradesAustraliaSydney (N.S.W.)Gay menAustraliaNew South WalesSocial life and customs2001-HomosexualityAustraliaNew South WalesElectronic books.Gay pride paradesGay menSocial life and customsHomosexuality306.766099441Reynolds Robert1965-945962MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454383103321What happened to gay life2136886UNINA
