Show summary
In a series of interviews with the gay press in the early 1980s, Michel Foucault suggested an important historical link between friendship and homosexuality – an idea he did not have the chance to develop before his death in 1984.

And how have increased visibility and normalization of nonheterosexuals changed queer friendships in the forty years since his passing?
