Quote from this book "Until a few years ago the word 'homosexual' was either unmentionable or used purely in a derogatory way and, until 1967, male homosexuality was a legal offence: a situation which made otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals and provided opportunities for blackmail and victimisation. Public attitudes are more enlightened these days and homosexuality has come to be accepted as a 'variation from normal' rather than something abnormal, to be sneered at or condemned. And yet there is still a lot of prejudice, misunderstanding and even fear surrounding the subject. This booklet, which is factual and non-moralising, is intended to disperse the many false impressions and put the subject into proper perspective. It is hoped, too, that it will allay some of the anxieties of homosexuals themselves, or young girls and boys or men and women who might fear they are homosexual, and also of those parents who might be helped to face up to this situation if it arose in their own family" Foreword Secondhand booksellers |
