The editor guides the reader chronologically through selected writings that give voice to every generation of gay writers since the 19th century, including a diverse array of American men of African, European, Jewish, Asian, and Latino heritage. Documenting a range of life experiences that encompass tattoo artists and academics, composers and drag queens, hustlers and clerks, it contains accounts of turn-of-the-century tarnsvestites, gay rights activists, men battling AIDS, and soldiers attempting to come out in the army.
