What is gay culture? Does it really exist? In this provocative and controversial book, Frank Browning asks the question gay men ask themselves: Can a society based on sexual desire truly call i tself a culture? In the twenty-five years since homosexual lives first emerged from the shadows, gay men have staked out the frontier of contemporary living - from AIDS to feminism, from political activism to public sex, from the inv ention of the self to the reinvention of the American family. This is the story of how gay men come together today. In \"The Culture of Desire\", Frank Browning embarks on a transcontinental exploration of the worlds gay men have creat ed. The AIDS drug underground in Miami and Los Angeles. The queer goings-on in Disneyland and Fire Island Pines. The Gay Games in Vancouver. West Coast sex clubs ... Browning says that culture - especially gay culture - thrives only when it embraces its own paradoxes. Filled with vivid characters, explicit in the stories, and generous in its spirit, the book explains gay life to those who are living it - to all those who care about the paradoxes of America itself.
