- Title
Queer Budapest, 1873–1961.
- Authors
Ross, A.I.
- Abstract
Anita Kurimay concludes her fascinating history of queer life in Budapest with the contemporary situation in Hungary for LGBTQ+ individuals. Kurimay also points out that many on the left agree with them and claim that queer life only emerged in Hungary after the fall of Communism. In order to trace the ways that the police managed this threat, Kurimay makes a fascinating move: she analyses a document that no longer exists, a police registry of male homosexuals.
