Description
Men Alone – Men Together combines photography and oral history to document the lives of 45 gay men — 14 couples, 14 single men and one trio — and how their journeys have, for the moment, led them towards or away from relationships. It also reflects the immense diversity of the gay world. These men are our workmates and neighbours. They are gardeners and jewellers, teachers and builders, priests and fathers, each with a story to tell of remarkable determination and courage.
