Presenting a tour through the British Isles in search of the gay community, the author provides accounts of the many and varied social, political and commercial structures shaping gay life in Britain today. He asks what it means to be gay in a country where gay style is chic yet gay equality remains a dream. What do a suburban middle-aged gay couple have in common with the disco bunny Stepford Boyz of Soho's gay village? What about the pink pound, queer politics, the demographics of AIDS services, coming out and the age of consent, gay men's relationships with their lesbian "sisters"? Revealing the endemic bickering and shallowness of much of gay culture, the author presents a sharp view of gay Britain at a time of great change.
