A Gay Century Volume 2: 1973-2001 Summary

A Gay Century Volume 2: 1973-2001: 7 more unreliable vignettes of Lesbian and Gay Life by Peter Scott-Presland

'A Gay Century: Vol 2' is a vivid portrait of gay life in recent history, using a series of seven playlets which are dramatic, angry, funny and heartbreaking in turn. A camp old man collides with Gay Liberation and gets a new lease of life; a gay bandsman can't grieve for his lover killed in an IRA bomb - until he's thrown out of the army for being gay; a gay man and a lesbian decide to have a baby, but their partners plot to stop it; the bombing of the Admiral Duncan pub devastates not only the victims but their friends. Queen Victoria and Oscar Wilde - repression and liberation - battle for supremacy; there can only be one victor.
