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 alongside the women’s movement and other revolutionary organizing. Writing after the apparent failure and eventual selling out of the revolutionary dream of May 1968, Hocquenghem situates his theories of homosexual desire in the realm of revolutionary practice, arguing that revolutionary movements must be rethought through ideas of desire and sexuality that undo stable gender and sexual identities. Throughout, he persists in a radical vision of the world framed through a queerness that can dismantle the oppressions of capitalism and empire, the family, institutions, and, ultimately, civilization. The articles, communiques, and manifestos that compose the book give an archival glimpse at the issues queer revolutionaries faced while also speaking to today’s radical queers as they look to transform their world.

Hocquenghem'in Homoseksüel Arzu'su, şu an "queer teorisi" adını verdiğimiz şeyin ilk örneği. -Douglas Crimp- 1972 yılında, Fransa'da yayımlanan, Guy Hocquenghem'in Homoseksüel Arzu'su, eşcinsel kuramın bir klasiği haline gelmiştir. Psikanalitik ve Marksist teoriyi birleştiren bu kitap, homofobi adı verilen olgunun toplumsal ve ruhsal dinamiklerini tarif eder. Uluslararası eşcinsel hareketinin ilk ürünlerinden biri olan, Hocquenghem'in bu önemli eseri, Paris'teki Mayıs 1968 Olayları'ndan ve Haziran 1969'daki Stonewall isyanlarının ardından dünyanın çeşitli şehirlerinde meydana gelen politik eşcinsel ayaklanmalar ile açığa çıkan olağanüstü enerjiden etkilenmiştir. Gilles Deleuze ve Felix Guattari'nin teorik eserinden ve eşcinsellerin toplum huzuruna çıkmaya başlamasının ezici etkilerinden yararlanan Hocquenghem, Lacan ve Freud'dan türemiş ruh ve cinsel arzunun etkileyici modellerini eleştirmiştir.
