Description
Some Men in London: Queer Life, 1960-1967
This book explores the lives of queer men in London from 1960 to 1967, a period of significant change in British society's views on homosexuality. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including letters, diaries, and police records, Peter Parker reveals the complexities of queer life during this time.
From the moral panic of the 1940s to the landmark 1967 act that decriminalised homosexuality, Parker sheds light on the experiences of those who lived with and against the law. This book is a testament to the joyous and thriving subculture of queer men in London during this period, and a valuable contribution to our understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
