Collection of some interesting gay press materials

Stephan Likosky's anthology of international gay and lesbian writing, Coming Out (New York: Pantheon, 1992) includes much interesting stuff culled mostly from the gay press (including an interview Jared Braiterman conducted with Brazilian AIDS activist Herbert Daniel), ILGA (a nuanced historical chapter on Cuba), and a few pieces reprinted from journals (including Ruan and Tsai on China and Joseph Carrier on Mexico). Likoksy endeavored to include material on Asia and Africa, though it tends to be by/about Asians and Africans in Britain and the US. Why he included the samplings of Theory he did (Fernbach, Hocquenghem, Mieli) I have no idea. Nonetheless, he produced an interesting collection of materials.
