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. 606 $aGay pride parades$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 606 $aGay men$zAustralia$zNew South Wales$xSocial life and customs$y2001- 606 $aHomosexuality$zAustralia$zNew South Wales 606 $aGay identity$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000496 606 $aGay culture$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000487 615 0$aGay pride parades 615 0$aGay men$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aHomosexuality 615 7$aGay identity. 615 7$aGay culture. 676 $a306.766099441 700 $aReynolds$b Robert$f1965-$01847483 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974046403321 996 $aWhat happened to gay life$94433165 997 $aUNINA
