- Summary
- Why has the gay freedom struggle continued to thrive despite the conservative political climate of recent years? What happens when gay and lesbian educators come out of the closet? Combining historical and political analysis with autobiography and memoir. This book brings together the essays of John D'Emilio, a pioneering gay historian and long-time movement activist. Written over a period of almost twenty years, these essays provide a unique exploration of the history of gay life since World War II, describe the courage and accomplishments of gay and lesbian activities, and survey the vast changes that their movement for equality has had on American society, politics, and the university.
