Youngman

Viac o knihe

"Lou Sullivan kept candid diaries from the age of ten. Through these vivid extracts, we see Lou navigate his gay and trans identities in a world with few role models, and hear his eperiences in his own words: from 'playing boys' in his childhood in Wisconsin, to cruising San Francisco's gay bars for handsome 'youngmen'; from first hearing about gender non-conforming communities, to becoming a vital part of them as activist, author and archivist. Successfully campaigning to remove heterosexuality from the medical requirements for gender affirming surgery, Lou was pivotal in our modern understanding of gender and sexuality as distinct identities. This selection shows Lou's joyous love of life, men and sex."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper.
