He argues that even though homosexual men were often accepted and popular within their units, if they were accused of homosexual behaviour, they were subjected to psychiatric assessments, courts-martial proceedings, prison terms, and dishonourable discharges. An influential and eye-opening study, the author has updated this critically acclaimed work with a new preface that considers depictions of soldiers serving in the war in Afghanistan and the continued silence about homosexual servicemen and women.World War, 1939-1945Participation, GayHomophobiaGovernment policyCanadaGay military personnelGovernment policyCanadaHistory20th centuryCanadaArmed ForcesHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Participation, Gay.HomophobiaGovernment policyGay military personnelGovernment policyHistory355.008664097109044Jackson Paul1955-1579633MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783762103321One of the boys3859852UNINA
