Taking Liberties brings together some of the most divergent views published in recent years on the state of contemporary gay male culture. Michael Bronski, himself a widely published and respected gay cultural critic, here presents some of the community's foremost essayists, who weigh in on such slippery topics as outing, masculine identity, pornography, the pedophile movement, community definition, political strategy and much more. By steadfastly shunning easy answers, Taking Liberties testifies to the intellectual vitality of a community that is stronger and more seriously challenged than ever before. Contributors include: Bill Andriette, Allen Barnett, Bruce Bawer, Ron Caldwell, Larry Chua, Jesse Green, Larry Gross, Craig G. Harris, Craig Hickman, Christopher J. Hogan, Tony Kushner, Michael Lassell, Michael Lowenthal, Vestal McIntyre, Lawrence Mass, Rondo Mieczkowski, Mitzel, John Preston, Charlie Shively, Andrew Sullivan, Scott Tucker, John Weir, Reed Woodhouse
