As all homosexual activity was illegal until 1967, and exposure meant ruin and disgrace, such men were obliged either to repress their sexual feelings or else lead double lives, indulging their tastes secretly while respectably married with children.The need to cover up their sexuality, while causing problems and disappointments, often sharpened their skills as politicians - they were masters of secrecy and subterfuge, and knew how to take calculated risks. An entertaining and insightful account of some extraordinary personalities, Closet Queens opens doors into a hidden world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 202mmItem Length: 122mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 280gRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
