Description - The Queening of America by David Van Leer
The Queening of America examines how the invisibility of gay male writing, especially in the popular culture of the 1950s and 1960s, facilitated the crossing of gay motifs in straight culture. David Van Leer critiques some current models of making homosexuality visible, such as the packaging of Joe Orton, the theories of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and the rise of gay studies, before concluding more optimistically with the possible alliances between gay culture and other minority discourses.
