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.
