Taking Liberties

Sinopse

Taking Liberties brings together some of the most divergent views published in recent years on the state of contemporary gay male culture. Michael Bronski, himself a widely published and respected gay cultural critic, here presents some of the community's foremost essayists, who weigh in on such slippery topics as outing, masculine identity, pornography, the pedophile movement, community definition, political strategy and much more. By steadfastly shunning easy answers, Taking Liberties testifies to the intellectual vitality of a community that is stronger and more seriously challenged than ever before.
