As LGBTQ movements in Western Europe, North America, and other
regions of the world are becoming increasingly successful at
awarding LGBTQ people rights, especially institutional recognition
for same-sex couples and their families, what becomes of the deeper
social transformation that these movements initially aimed to
achieve? The United States is in many ways a paradigmatic model for
LGBTQ movements in other countries. Sexuality, Subjectivity, and
LGBTQ Militancy in the United States focuses on the transformations
of the US LGBTQ movement since the 1980s, highlighting the
relationship between its institutionalization and the disappearance
of sexuality from its most visible claims, so that its growing
visibility and legitimation since the 1990s have paradoxically led
to a decrease in grassroots militancy. The book examines the issue
from the bottom up, identifying the links between the varying
importance of sexuality as a movement theme and actors'
mobilization, and enhances the import of subjectivity in militancy.
It draws attention to cultural, sometimes infrapolitical, forms of
militancy that perpetuate the role of sexuality in LGBTQ militancy.
