Queer Wales Summary

Queer Wales: The History, Culture and Politics of Queer Life in Wales by Huw Osborne

The relationship between nation and queer sexuality has long been a fraught one, for the sustaining myths of the former are often at odds with the needs of the latter. This collection of essays introduces readers to important historical and cultural figures and moments in queer life, and it addresses some of the urgent questions of queer belonging that face Wales today.
