McHugh, Erin. "A Gay in the Life" A Compilation of Saints and Sinners in Gay History", Alyson, 2007.
Everything (Almost) that You Need to Know
Amos Lassen
Alyson's "The Portable Queer" is an ideal little set of books that fit in your pocket and provide you with instant information. "A Gay in the Life" tells us about "the gays in our lives" and in its brief 137 pages it is a who is and who was who in gay life. Everyone seems to be here--celebrities, activists, historical figures and modern day heroes as well as some ordinary people who have done what was necessary for us to get the rights we have. There are also those that are working for us right now.
Conveniently divided into seven categories--the arts, celebrities, politics, gay activists, history makers, the sporting life, and ordinary heroes, the book is easy to use and all is presented in a concise yet readable way. It's a great addition to our lives.
Summary of The Portable Queer: A Gay in the Life: A Compilation of Saints and Sinners in Gay History (The Portable Queer)
Those who have changed the face of homosexuality over the centuries are not completely heroic. Learn about the first great gay activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, read of brave men and women of the Matachine Society and of the Stonewall riot, and relive the stories of the writers and artists who pushed a movement forward. Intriguing, shocking, and ultimately hopeful!
Erin McHugh is a longtime gay activist and fundraiser, former publishing executive, and author of several books, including the five book series The 5 W's: Who?, What?, When?, Where?, and Why?
