Specificatii
Written in 1965 about a same-sex sexual scandal that occurred in
1955 in Boise, Idaho, John Gerassi's classic study depicts both
middle America's traditional response to homosexuality and an era
in the country's history before the modern gay rights movement
really got underway. Because much of what Gerassi wrote about
persists in today's struggles over gay and lesbian issues, his book
still has much to tell us about how contemporary society reacts to,
and misunderstands, homosexuality.--Peter BoagOn the morning of
November 2, 1955, the people of Boise, Idaho, were stunned by a
screaming headline in the Idaho Daily Statesman, THREE BOISE MEN
ADMIT SEX CHARGES. Time magazine picked up the story, reporting
that a homosexual underworld had long operated in Idaho's staid
capital city. The Statesman led the hysteria that resulted in
dozens of arrests--including some highly placed members of the
community--and sentences ranging from probation to life
imprisonment.Peter Boag's Foreword places the book in historical
perspective, summarizing the popular psychological theories and
legal conceptions that helped to shape Gerassi's research. He
discusses advances in Idaho's public approach to homosexuality and
ways in which the provincialism chronicled by Gerassi persists to
this day.
