Sean Strub arrived in Washington, D.C. in 1976 harbouring a terrifying secret: his attraction to men. As Strub explored the capital's political and social circles, he discovered a parallel world where powerful men lived double lives shrouded in shame. When the AIDS epidemic hit in the early '80s, Strub turned to activism to combat discrimination and demand research. Strub takes readers through his own diagnosis and inside ACT UP, the activist organisation that transformed a stigmatised cause into one of the defining political movements of our time.

"A detailed historical look at the surprising ways in which the uninhibited urban sexuality, sexual experimentation and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of sexual orientation and gay identity. Long known for the friendly company of its "warm brothers" (German slang for men who love other men), Berlin, even before the turn of the twentieth-century, was a place where educators, activists, and medical professionals could explore and begin to educate both themselves and Europe about new and emerging sexual identities. From Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German activist described by some as the world's first openly gay man, to the world of Berlin's vast homosexual subcultures-tolerated and monitored by the police commissioner through the "Department of Homosexuals and Blackmailers"-to a major sex scandal that enraptured the daily newspapers and shook the court of Emperor William II, and on through some of the world's first sex reassignment surgeries, Beachy deftly guides the reader through past events and developments that continue to shape and influence the way we think of sexuality to this day. Gay Berlin is certain to be considered a foundational study"-- "A detailed historical look at the surprising ways in which the uninhibited urban sexuality, sexual experimentation and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of sexual orientation and gay identity"--

Depuis le début des années 1980, l'apparition des quartiers gays a participé à la visibilité croissante de l'homosexualité dans les sociétés occidentales. Mais que sait-on exactement de ces espaces urbains spécifiques ? Comment sont-ils nés ? Qui s'y installe et pourquoi ? Comment les citadins les pratiquent-ils et les vivent-ils au quotidien ? Une enquête sociologique menée à Paris et Montréal permet de dépasser les clichés et les stéréotypes sur des espaces fortement médiatisés, mais finalement peu connus. En revenant sur la naissance de ces espaces, l'enquête montre comment les gays ont participé ici à la gentrification des métropoles par leur nouvelle présence commerciale, résidentielle et symbolique au centre-ville. Elle montre aussi que, loin de constituer des ghettos communautaires, ces quartiers voient cohabiter des trajectoires, des modes de vie et des identités socialement différenciées. La comparaison entre Paris et Montréal révèle enfin des convergences internationales, mais aussi des spécificités locales et nationales : les formes urbaines, les usages concrets et les représentations que suscitent les quartiers gays traduisent des rapports différenciés à la ville et à l'homosexualité selon les sociétés.
