Recent victories for LGBT rights have gone faster than most people imagined possible. Yet the accompanying rise of gay 'normality' has been perplexing for activists with radical sympathies. Global in scope and drawing on a wide range of feminist, anti-racist and queer scholarship, Warped: Gay Normality and Queer Anti-Capitalism shows how the successive 'same-sex formations' of the past century and a half, corresponding to phases of capitalist development, have led to the emergence of today's 'homonormativity' and 'homonationalism' and to ongoing queer resistance.
