Good As You: from pride to prejudice 30 years of gay Britain with Paul<br />
Good As You is an important book that celebrates the seismic shift that turned gay men in Britain fro<br />
friends of the state. It’s a story of how the power of pop culture can place real pressure on the gover<br />
media, to make tangible steps towards change. From ‘Smalltown Boy’ to same sex marriage, Paul inte<br />
integral to his own personal<br />
journey and to so many<br />
young gay men who found<br />
their voices were finally<br />
being heard in the 1980s.<br />
This is the story of public<br />
outrage and personal loss,<br />
the (not always legal) highs<br />
and the desperate lows, and<br />
the final collective victory<br />
as gay people were finally<br />
recognised, as Good As You.<br />
