Few issues in American politics inspire such passion as that of
civil rights for gays and lesbians. In this group of original
essays, scholars and activists writing from a number of different
perspectives provide a comprehensive overview of this heated
debate. Contributors thoroughly investigate the politics of the gay
and lesbian movement, beginning with its political organizations
and tactics. The essays also address the strategies and ideology of
conservative opposition groups, such as the Christian Right. They
focus on key issues for public policy, including gays and lesbians
openly serving in the military, anti-discrimination laws, and the
ongoing crisis of AIDS. The book ends with chapters that discuss
the ways in which the political struggle for gay rights has played
out in various arenas--in Congress, in the courts, in state and
local governments, and in electoral politics.
Forcefully argued and accessibly written, this collection is an
important contribution to the current discussion about civil rights
for gays and lesbians.
