About the book
While pleasure is antithetical to the moral and governance constructions of the dominant culture, that dominant culture also cannot resist the allure of alternative cultures and sexualities. As gays and lesbians pushed for greater cultural, political and human rights in the 1970s-1990s, there was both acceptance and a rise in anti-gay rhetoric and action in American media, politics and society.
First sentence: DURING THE 1992 Republican National Convention, right-wing columnist and demagogue Pat Buchanan declared that America was in the midst of a cultural war that imperiled the country's moral and political well-being.
