A gay 'information office for the Eastern Bloc'?

Since the upheavals of 1989-1991, Eastern Europe has been repeatedly stigmatized as 'backward' in relation to the politics and policies around sexuality. Historical sources, however, contradict this view and reveal that homosexual rights activism was alive and well across the Eastern Bloc in the 1980s.

Abstract

Since the upheavals of 1989-1991, Eastern Europe has been repeatedly stigmatized as 'backward' in relation to the politics and policies around sexuality. Historical sources, however, contradict this view and reveal that homosexual rights activism was alive and well across the Eastern Bloc in the 1980s.
