Synopsis

This work argues that homosexuality has become an issue precisely because of the way in which we discuss, debate and communicate about the concept and experience of homosexuality. It claims that the debate over homosexuality is fundamentally an issue of communication - as in the controversy over gays in the military, framed by communication-sensitive terms such as "morale" and "discipline". The 20 chapters address such subjects: as gay political language; homosexuality and AIDs on prime-time television; the politics of male homosexuality in young adult fiction; the identification of female athleticism with lesbianism; the politics of identity in the works of Edmund White; and coming-out strategies. This book should be of interest to students of communication practices and theory, and for everyone interested in human sexuality.
