Foreword by Graham Norton.
Homosexuality has gone mainstream in recent years -- "civil partnerships" and gay marriage continue to grab headlines, while our television screens have brought us successes like 'V Graham Norton', 'Queer as Folk', 'Will & Grace', and the US hit, 'The L Word'.
In 'Queer Facts', Michelle Baker and Stephen Tropiano collect tidbits, statistics and anecdotes from across the entire spectrum of gay culture, from film and fashion to literature, politics, and history. Who was the first openly gay politician elected to office? The first lesbian soap character? What's the most successful gay novel of all time? And just why did The Village People think it was 'fun to stay at the YMCA'? 'Queer Facts' answers these questions and more -- with inimitable style!
