NEW INTRODUCTION Michael Moon I had never heard of Guy Hocquenghem or Homosexual Dire until I unexpectedly happened on a py of the English trans latn soon after s first publitn 1 978, on a shelf unproply marked "Sex and Marriage" a shoppg-mall bookstore Columbia, Maryland.

I had been readg gay liberatn publitns (mostly Brish and Amerin perdi ls-Boston's Fag Rag, San Francis's Gay Sunshe, London's gay News and Gay Left) for some years at the time, and I had also started readg "theory" (mostly French), but I had not to that pot seen anyone be the two thgs the same work, so I was exced to fd my first mol of the gay appropriatn of poststcturalist theory.
