Odd men out examines the transformation of homosexual men from odd to normal during the tumultuous decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Using new and original research, John-Pierre Joyce explores contemporary attitudes to gay men and the development of a gay identity. He considers the extent and limits of homosexual repression and liberation, and analyses the dilemmas posed by the emergence of a homosexual minority. Through first-hand interviews and oral histories, Odd men out gives voice to a generation of gay men and sheds new light on a much-neglected aspect of British history.
