The Sexual Outlaw A Documentary

In this angry, eloquent outcry against the oppression of homosexuals, the author of the classic City of Night gives an explosive "non-fiction account, with commentaries, of three days and nights in the sexual underground" of Los Angeles in the 1970s - the "battlefield" of the sexual outlaw. Using the language and techniques of film, Rechy deftly intercuts the despairing, joyful, and defiant confessions of a male hustler with the "chorus" of his own subversive reflections on sexual identity and sexual politics, and with stark documentary reports of the violence our society directs against homosexuals - "the only minority against whose existence there are laws."
