In Search of Gay America: Women and Men in a Time of Change

"With his unique vision and remarkable eye for detail to guide him, Neil Miller journeyed through small towns, farmlands, suburbs, and cities in search of the diversity of gay and lesbian life in America in the late 1980s. His lively and telling profiles reveal lesbians and gay men building communities and families, coming to terms with their religious beliefs, reconciling with their roots, and, for the minorities whom Miller interviewed, coping with racism as well as homophobia. In a time when most of the discussion of gay life in America centers around AIDS, this compassionate and provocative book concentrates on men and women in the process of living their lives." -- Back cover
