This book examines the working lives, retirement plans, and old age
experiences of three generations of gay men born 1924–86. It draws
on data collected from interviews with 82 men in Australia, England,
New Zealand, and USA. The first half of the book concentrates on the
men’s working lives, while the second half of the book explores the
interviewees’ concerns about old age and retirement. The author
analyses the men’s contrasting stories, highlighting key
generational differences in their experience of being ‘out’ in the
workplace and the dominant work narratives which emerge in each age
group. This important work will have cross-disciplinary appeal to
scholars of sociology, gerontology, health sciences, gender, queer,
and gay and lesbian studies, as well as practitioners.
