"Homosexual Desire represents the best of left social theory of sexual politics, a tradition that has never had an adequate reception in the United StatesReprinting this book now is a step toward recovering that tradition, and could therefore open debates about the significance of sexuality."—Michael Warner
"Written over two decades ago, in the aftermath of May '68 and Stonewall, Hocquenghem's Homosexual Desire may well be the first example of what we now call queer theory. But its significance is more than historical: it remains an indispensable analysis of, and polemic against, institutionalized homophobia.”—Douglas Crimp
