Long before Stonewall and the gay pride movement, a small, tightly knit group of daring men helped pave the way for male sexual liberation. Through extraordinary research, David Leddick has traced the modeling careers of these artists, writers, and photographers, from the 1930s to the 1950s, as they gave birth to new notions of male beauty and desire. Profiles include Yul Brenner, Tennessee Williams, and Paul Cadmus. 90 photos.
