“Truly global in scope.” -- CHOICE --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Product Description
A global history of the lives of gay men and women from the earliest civilizations to the present day.
Homosexuality has always been present in society. William Naphy’s book dramatically highlights the positive attitudes of bygone generations and cultures, as opposed to nineteenth-century views of the "disease" of homosexuality.
There has long been an assumption in the West that views on sex and sexuality are basically similar worldwide. This has never been the case. Many ancient cultures actively promoted same-sex relationships as an integral part of adolescence or even worship. The rise of Judaeo-Christian views forced homosexuality "underground." Born to be Gay takes a radical look at the history of homosexuality from Bacchanalian orgies to "Gay Pride."
