Guy Hocquenghem bol esejista a aktivista, často považovaný za otca queer teórie. Jeho dielo sa ponorilo do hlbín sexuality a spoločenských konštrukcií, spochybňovalo normy a ponúkalo provokatívny pohľad na homosexuálnu túžbu. Prostredníctvom svojho písania skúmal prepojenie medzi osobnou identitou, túžbou a politickým disentom, čím zanechal nezmazateľnú stopu v myslení o sexualite a identite.
In Gay Liberation after May '68, first published in France in 1974 and appearing here in English for the first time, Guy Hocquenghem details the rise of the militant gay liberation movement and argues that revolutionary movements must be rethought through ideas of desire and sexuality.
Integrating psychoanalytic and Marxist theory, this book describes the social and psychic dynamics of what has come to be called homophobia and on how the 'homosexual' as social being has come to be constituted in capitalist society.
