Hi everyone!
I have an oral exam coming up and think I am going to choose the topic of h=
omosexuality in the the Soviet Union for the exam.  I was just curious if a=
nyone might have any source recommendations (both for the legal situation a=
nd every day life).  Let me know if anything good comes to mind!

One of the best sources on the late Soviet era is David Tuller's "Cracks in the Iron Closet" (U. of Chicago Press, 1997).  A journalistic approach, with great insight into the subculture at the time and the legal issues.  Highly recommended.
