We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?Part-revisionist history,  part-historical biography  and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks  what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through  its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives.\r\n\r\n This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere  puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.\r\n\r\n   Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
