Opis

This book presents an analysis of the complexities, compromises, and investments that underpin LGBT efforts to achieve sexual rights and protections. With an historical trajectory that spans the so-called "decriminalisation" era to the present day, it shows how activists have both resisted and embraced police incursions into queer space.
