A scandal laid bare,
By
This review is from: Same-Sex Affairs: Constructing and Controlling Homosexuality in the Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
Same-Sex Affairs is a fascinating look at the rise of urban homosexuality in the early 20th Century. The book is built around the 1912 YMCA Scandal in Portland, Ore., a little known and poorly documented story that dominated newspapers of the day, in particular E.W. Scripps' newspaper, The Portland News. Using many never-before seen historical documents, this book details the politics and pressures in Progressive Era Portland on the homosexual community. Further, it shows that politics played a far bigger role than sexuality in the scandal. An academic treatment of this important event, done in the finest fashion, Same-Sex Affairs is a great addition to any library. |
