This study combines an interpretive history of culture and law,
political philosophy and constitutional analysis to explain the
background, development and growing impact of two challenging human
rights movements: feminism and gay rights. The text argues that
both movements are extensions of rights-based dissent, rooted in
antebellum abolitionist feminism which condemns both American
racism and sexism. It examines the role of dissident African
Americans, Jews, women and homosexuals in forging alternative
visions of rights-based democracy. The book draws attention to Walt
Whitman's visionary poetry, exploring Whitman's impact on pro-gay
advocates such as Havelock Ellis, Oscar Wilde and Andre Gide. It
also discusses writers and reformers such as Margaret Sanger, Franz
Boas, Elizabeth Stanton and Adrienne Rich. The study addresses
recent controversies such as the exclusion of homosexuals from the
military and from the right of marriage, and concludes with a
defence of the struggle for such constitutional rights.
