**From the author of the groundbreaking 1971 classic *Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation* comes a new work reflecting on all that has changed over the past four decades.**
Homosexuality has become a faultline for debates about western influence, and human rights. In *The End of the Homosexual?* – part memoir/part politics – Dennis Altman connects what has happened within the changing queer world over the past forty years to larger social, political and cultural trends.
This timely new book reflects on decades of cultural and political change, both local and global, and considers the future of sexuality: is this the end of the homosexual that gay liberationists predicted forty years ago?
*The End of the Homosexual?* is a major new book by one of the original voices in the gay rights movement and a leading international commentator on homosexual politics.
‘In this personal memoir of an Age, Dennis Altman has placed changes in attitudes towards sex and gender alongside the social, political and cultural upheavals that have occurred in the past forty years in Australia and elsewhere in the world. With profound insight, wry humour and admirable story-telling flair, Altman presents a gripping and comprehensive social history, one that never loses sight of the value of diversity. This is a grand story of change. Whenever an important event on the politics and culture of gender and sexuality was occurring, Dennis Altman was there.’ – Andrea Goldsmith, author of *The Memory Trap* and *Reunion*
