Amongst the aliens : some aspects of a gay life

Peter Burton

Peter Burton, one of the founders of British gay journalism, has contributed to a awide range of magazines and newspapers for more than thirty years. In this collections of essays culled from twenty five years of writing, he ranges over subjects as diverse as girls on the gay scene, gay men and popular music, queer bashing, the 'Pink' economy, coping with the death of a close friend from AIDS, etc. These pieces offer a highly readable and coincidentally highly personal portrait of gay life in Britain in the years since 1967 Sexual Offences Act.
