For round 100 years as much as the Stonewall riots, the notice used for homosexual males was once 'queers'. In The tradition of Queers, Richard Dyer strains the contours of queer tradition, studying the diversities and continuities with the homosexual tradition which succeeded it.
Opening with a dialogue of the very suggestion of 'queers', Dyer asks what it capacity to talk of a sexual grouping having a tradition, and addresses concerns equivalent to homosexual attitudes to girls and the suggestion of camp. From screaming queens to delicate vampires and unhappy younger males, and from pulp novels to pornography to the flicks of Fassbinder, The tradition of Queers explores the historical past of queer arts and media.
