This begs the question: why was Scotland different? Queer Voices in Post-War Scotland charts the experiences of gay and bisexual men in Scotland who from within the shadows of criminality forged identities and relationships despite the apparent opprobrium of the state, religious institutions and wider society. Through the use of extensive archival research and oral histories contributed by gay and bisexual men this book charts the history of male homosexuality within Scottish society from the 19th century until decriminalization occurred in 1980"-- 0aGay menzScotlandxHistory. 0aBisexual menzScotlandxHistory 0aHomosexualityzScotlandxHistory. 7aHISTORY / Europe / Great Britain. 7aHISTORY / Modern / 20th Century. 7aHISTORY / Social History. 7aLAW / Gender & the Law. 7aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Gay Studies.
