WATCH TIM COOK EXPLA WHY HE CAME OUT AS GAY
How do your study support or refute the associatns of queer domticy wh homonormativy? MC: I thk that is too simplistic to figure home as apolil or hetero- or homo-normative. Romantic socialists Edward Carpenter and Charl Ashbee through to the squatters and munards of the Gay Liberatn Front have shown how home and the anizatn of domtic life uld be a part – and a fundamental part — of livg radilly and explorg what radilism associated wh sex, genr and sexualy might mean.
JB: The Sexual Offenc Act (1967) dified the ‘rpectable’, domtilly stable, monogamo uple as the only valid optn for gay men. Particular prsur and anxieti were a part of everyday life for many gay men post 1967. The issue of homelsns has been so prsg for many queer men, yet too often we are unable to tell specific stori and are stead only able to refer to the homels as a group and so misleadgly imply a homogeney of experience.
