Book excerpt: In Censoring Sexuality, Paul Bailey examines and analyses the various kinds of censorship political, literary, cultural that have oppressed, silenced and, at times, destroyed homosexuals. The creative talents of these men and women were universally admired, adulated even, yet they were forced to conceal or dent the mainspring of their creative genius for fear of censure or worse. The worshipped the work, but despised the sexuality.Much has changed in the modern world; even in Russia a form of tolerance has emerged in the last decade. But in places as different as Iran, Israel, Jamaica, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, religious fundamentalism, macho attitudes, prejudices and the laws of the land still censor the world of the homosexual and lead to murder or worse.
