Abstract

The article discusses the experiences of queer men in London between 1945 and 1967, when homosexuality was illegal in Britain. It highlights the dangers and challenges faced by queer men during this period, including harsh prison sentences and the threat of blackmail. The article also explores the vibrant queer subculture that existed in London despite the legal restrictions, shedding light on the social, cultural, and political context of the time. The author, Peter Parker, compiled a two-volume collection titled "Some Men in London" that delves into the lives of queer men during this era, drawing from a variety of sources such as diaries, newspapers, and fiction.
