Gays, apparently, have been, are, and prumably will ntue to be found everywhere!

GAY LIV

Aldrich his troductn refers to ‘gay men and women’ and briefly discs the simplified termology he adopts. Increasgly the term ‘gay’ is beg more and more intified wh the male versn, and the female versn as ‘lbian’ — but here Aldrich also wish to rporate a wir nsiratn; whether all the persons clud this survey actually n be nsired as participatg actively homosexual acts is not always clear (pecially some of the more ancient texts); but same-sex sire is most fely there.

While this book will not necsarily wow homosexuals, is a eful and pals way to troduce non-homosexuals to a better unrstandg of what some of the bravt homosexuals have had to put up wh om an tolerant and (let’s face ) ignorant sectn of humany, and how they tried to fd their proper place (not always succsfully, but always termedly) society. His approach is not one of simply tracg all known homosexual men and women om as far back as we have rerd history: there have been many books that provi that rmatn. Its purpose is not to offer a pendium of the liv of the 'greatt gays', not to provi an encyclopedic survey of the different sexual typ intified by historians, anthropologists and other specialists.
