Summary
"In this new edition of Homophobia, Kantor tells in harsh detail how and why people still fire off slurs like "faggot" and "dyke," and threaten harm, from blowing up homes to bashing in heads. He takes us across America to city streets, hospitals, schools, broadcast stations, churches, and police departments, showing how homophobia is still very much alive."--[book cover].
