In the twentieth century, countless Americans claimed gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender identities, forming a movement to secure
social as well as political equality. This collection of essays
considers the history as well as the historiography of the queer
identities and struggles that developed in the United States in the
midst of widespread upheaval and change.Whether the subject is an
individual life story, a community study, or an aspect of public
policy, these essays illuminate the ways in which individuals in
various locales understood the nature of their desires and the
possibilities of resisting dominant views of normality and
deviance. Theoretically informed, but accessible, the essays shed
light too on the difficulties of writing history when documentary
evidence is sparse or \u0022coded.\u0022 Taken together these
essays suggest that while some individuals and social networks
might never emerge from the shadows, the persistent exploration of
the past for their traces is an integral part of the on-going
struggle for queer rights.
