Description:
In Life Outside, Michelangelo Signorile has Interviewed hundreds of gay men from all over America to provide a groundbreaking study of the fundamental issues that shape their lives. They include sex in the age of AIDS, family relationships, long-term commitments, and the dilemmas of growing older in an often youth-obsessed gay culture. The book addresses three major trends that have emerged from this mosaic of experiences: the cult of masculinity, the deurbanization of homosexuality, and the death of the lonely old queen. Already having sparked controversy in hardcover, this analysis of the state of gay America makes for fascinating reading.
