	Faith Assembly Church
		Gay marriage also elevated the church’s openly rebellious minority liberal faction to national visibility, allowing Norwegians to feel that their proclivity for unmarried parenthood, if not fully approved by the church, was at least not strongly condemned.
		Gay marriage is both an effect and a reinforcing cause of the separation of marriage and parenthood.
		In the post-gay marriage nineties, as Norway’s once relatively low out-of-wedlock birthrate was climbing to unprecedented heights, and as the gay marriage controversy weakened and split the once respected Lutheran state church, secular social scientists took center stage.

		I should like to consider what the lesbian and gay community consists of, and, having identified it as a tangible entity, try to establish its relationship to the extraordinary advances which have been made towards lesbian and gay social and political emancipation in the 1990s.
		Ten years ago, support for gay issues would guarantee a labour politician or local authority a 'loony left' tag, but the support of 40-odd Tory MPs for an equal age of consent for gay men two years ago shows we are no longer such a political hot potato.
		Many gay people still face intense prejudice from families, neighbours, colleagues or bigots in the street but more people are likely to come out because fewer people are likely to bat an eyelid when they do or because they can move to a part of the country where being gay is no big deal.

	The Anti-Victorian Gay Nineties
		Entering his fifties as the nineties began, the Prince of Wales embodied the easy-going, pleasure-seeking young men of the decade.
		Dickens' David Copperfield in 1850 described himself as "always thoroughly earnest." Forty-five years later Oscar Wilde turned this typically mid-Victorian virtue into a pun, setting the word's meaning upside down by associating it with the duplicitous, vain, and pleasure-seeking Jack Worthing and his foppish companion, Algernon Moncrieff.
		As novelist (and former Aesthete) Richard Le Galliene remarked in The Romantic Nineties (1926), "Wilde made dying Victorianism laugh at itself, and it may be said to have died of laughter."

		You won’t learn anything earth shattering here, but the maxims are fun and are often great to use as an ice-breaker at some sort of social gathering (I used to start each gay-straight alliance meeting in college with a quick little maxim from the book to get people talking).
		The book might have been written in the mid-90’s, but the issues and ideas raised are just as current today as they were almost 10 years ago ((oh my god – the mid-90’s were that long ago).
		Seriously though, The Gay Guy’s Guide to Life is well worth having in your collection and I would be remiss in not recommending it to anyone (though I’d have to keep the recommendation limited to gay men – that’s this book’s audience and others will probably not see as much useful information in it).

		The 1890’s, or the "Gay Nineties" as the decade is called, began at the end of the Victorian era.
		This brought a new feeling of prosperity and growth; however, it is noteworthy that while the title "Gay Nineties" given this decade paints it as bright and happy, the reality for most Americans was quite different.
		As it turns out, the actual phrase "The Gay Nineties" refers to "a period regarded nostalgically as a decade of prosperous comfort and associated with gaslights, early bicycles and cars, and the Gibson Girl" (Allwords).

		So, before you research about gays and lesbians, narrow your topic to a specific area of interest, such as gays in literature, lesbians in the military, gays in the movies, or lesbians in the music industry.
		For example, information about gays in business will be in the business section, lesbians and literature in the literature section, and so on.
