Homintern

In this ambitious exploration, Gregory Woods delves into how homosexuality has significantly influenced Western culture over nearly a century. From Oscar Wilde's trials to the gay liberation movement, Woods examines the visibility and acceptance of homosexuality as hallmarks of modernity. Highlighting informal networks of creative individuals—dubbed "the Homintern"—he reveals their impact on the arts and beyond, while addressing themes of artistic influence, minority coping strategies, and the complexities of discrimination. Spanning various locales and eras, this insightful work offers a profound portrait of 20th-century gay culture and its remarkable figures.
