Synopsis

Only a few years ago, it seemed that the fight for gay rights was won in the UK: legal equality was achieved, prejudice rapidly dying out. Mission accomplished, right?

Wrong, argues Gareth Roberts. Homophobia is making a major comeback under the guise of the ideology of 'gender identity'. The enforcers of this new creed insist that attraction to people of the same sex is 'hateful'. They argue that effeminate men and butch women can't just be gay, but must 'really' be trans. Worse, this ideology has colonised the gay rights movement, capturing institutions like Stonewall and the gay press completely. Anyone who disagrees risks professional suicide.

So what happened to the funny, grown-up culture, truth-telling and knowing irony of gay men? How and why was the older gay rights activism, which gifted such progress to homosexual people, hijacked?

In this passionate, witty polemic, Gareth Roberts answers these questions and argues that we need a new gay liberation movement.

Fascinating summary of how very well funded LGB pressure groups having achieved their missions by 2015 decided rather than to disband to put all their efforts behind transgenderism and push for the appalling medicalization and sterilization of minors who don’t conform to 1950’s gender stereotypes an......more

Goodreads review by Wesley on October 19, 2024

I love how narrow-minded people are reviewing this book without reading it. This novel is crucial in our world right now. Read more. Learn more. Educate yourselves please. Prejudice works both ways. I am reading this a second time to really delve into the compelling points the writer makes. If you r......more

Goodreads review by Neil on January 06, 2025

Where to start? There’s an appreciative quote from Julie Birchall on the front cover, which is a huge red flag. Plus Roberts writes for The Spectator, which ditto. But then again he did write one of my favourite NuWho episodes. He should probably stick to the time travel. Although Roberts’ is often......more
