Product Description

Book Description

From law reform to Lesbian Sex Wars, from Young Gays to Grey Gays, via demos, drag, and dancing--for forty years, Australian lesbians, gay men, and their friends have struggled to change the way homosexuals are treated and thought about. This is the first full-length account of this remarkable movement and the first to attempt a national perspective.

About the Author

GRAHAM WILLETT has been active in gay politics in Melbourne since 1979. He was a founding member of the editorial collective which produced Gay Community News (now OutRage) and participated in numerous campaigns on a range of social issues in the 1980s and 90s. Living Out Loud involved extensive empirical research and a large number of interviews with participants in the movement's various campaigns and a careful theorising of social movements and social change. He has written extensively for academic and mainstream journal and for the alternative press over the past twenty years and has wide-ranging experience of public speaking at demonstrations, union meetings and lecture theatres.
