{"product_id":"9781742242316","title":"Gay Sydney: A History","description":"Garry Wotherspoon's Gay Sydney: A History is an updated version of his 1991 classic, City of the Plain: History of a Gay Sub-culture, written in the midst of the AIDS crisis. In this vivid book Wotherspoon traces the shifts that have occurred since then, including majority support for marriage equality and anti-discrimination legislation. He also ponders the parallel evaporation of a distinctly gay sensibility and the disappearance of once-packed gay bars that have now become cafes and gyms. This book also tells the story of gay Sydney across a century, looking at secret, underground gay life, the never-ending debates about sex in society and the role of social movements in the '60 and '70s in effecting social change.","brand":"UNSW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164579283184,"sku":"9781742242316","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742242316_p0.jpg?v=1769890462","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742242316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
