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 WalesGay identityhomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000496Gay culturehomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000487Gay pride paradesGay menSocial life and customsHomosexualityGay identity.Gay culture.306.766099441Reynolds Robert1965-1847483MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974046403321What happened to gay life4433165UNINA
