The Half-World of the American Homosexual.

BACK COVER
Unless every recent scientific survey lies, each of us deals with the homosexual in every facet of so-called “normal” existence. He may be your boss, or the man who sells you your cigarettes at the corner newsstand…or, if female, a trusted secretary, the lady next door or the teacher of your children. Save to another invert, most homosexuals are undetectable…although others, who flaunt their “difference,” congregate in certain places at certain times in order to mingle and to seek sympathy and affection with their own kind. In this fascinating study of the homosexual in his (or her) habitat, Tor Erikson embarks on a guided tour of discovery in which America’s inverts of both sexes are displayed as they live, as they love, as they are, in their favorite trysting places from coast to coast. A revelatory picture of the little-known and less-understood twilight world of society’s sexual outcasts as it exists all around us.
