Daring Hearts Lesbian and Gay Lives of 50s and 60s Brighton Item Info
- Title:
- Daring Hearts Lesbian and Gay Lives of 50s and 60s Brighton
- Description:
- This book is a compilation of interviews with members of the lesbian and gay community in Brighton in the 1950-60s. Despite being referred to as a “Gay Mecca,” Brighton residents would still face discrimination and prejudice by neighbours. Thus, secrecy in public and private life is a recurring theme. Interviewees describe how physical presentation, including hair and dress, would draw unwanted attention. Many hid their affections from public view. Interviewees also describe the impact of their sexualities on families.
