In Search of Gay America: Women and Men in a Time of Change Reviews
-
Although Miller gets the date wrong (by a full year) for the anti-gay harassment of the dance in Wolverton, Minnesota in 1983, this is still a valuable and well-written picture of gay and lesbian lives in the late 1980s, particularly of people's lives away from the coasts.
-
An informative and touching time capsule of gay and lesbian life across America in the late 1980s. The author Neil Miller makes a valiant attempt as a white, likely middle-class man to track down gay and lesbian communities of color and working-class folks with varying degrees of success. Happy to have it on my shelf as a reminder of how much things have changed and how much may never completely change, particularly for those of us living in rural and Southern communities.
-
Written after the advent of AIDs but well before a majority of the population accepted gays in everyday life.
