A landmark work of gay liberation writing, Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation examines the social, political and cultural forces that shaped homosexual identity, oppression and resistance in the early 1970s. Written from within the emerging gay liberation movement, the book combines personal reflection, political analysis and criticism of the systems that defined homosexuality through stigma and control.
