Since Stonewall, gay pride has been the rallying cry of the gay rights movement and the political force behind lesbian and gay studies. This collection asks what the drive to turn homosexuality into a proud social identity has buried, and investigates homosexuality and shame. Contributors take up emotion, disreputable sexual histories, dissident gender identities, and embarrassing figures and moments in gay history, exploring shame as a productive way to examine lesbian and gay culture.
