Guy Hocquenghem and the Futures of Gay Liberation

To mark the publication in English of “Gay Liberation after May ’68,” our co-op hosted a panel discussion, convened and moderated by translator Scott Branson, and featuring Kadji Amin and Max Fox. Panelists read passages from the collection and discuss both the history and the possible futures of gay liberation.
