Is there such a thing as an American gay culture--a set of styles, values, and behaviors that arises not from ethnicity or religion but from sexual orientation? How is that culture transmitted? And how is it likely to survive the depradations of homophobia and AIDS? These questions are explored by Browning, a reporter for NPR. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

A former NPR reporter, Browning attempts to discover whether or not a gay culture exists in today's America. The linkage he makes between his data and his thesis is extremely tenuous, however, and many readers may remain unconvinced by his contention that ``gay culture'' is distinguished from other cultural entities by its diversity and its ability to assume a wide range of ``masks.'' Browning filters his perceptions through his own personal experience--cruising San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, attending the raucous, butch- dominated Hotlanta Weekend--and through the experiences of a roster of gays that he has known. He does effectively demonstrate the multiplicity of gay styles and attitudes thus the book is worthwhile for exploring the queer and gay culture. ( )
