This comprehensive sourcebook covers the evolution of LGBTQ
engagement in American politics, from the emergence of gay rights
as a political issue in the early 1970s to the present day, when
LGBTQ issues occupy a prominent place in politics. This work
provides a broad and authoritative survey of the ways in which gay
Americans are influencing the tenor and trajectory of U.S. politics
at the local, state, and national levels. An encyclopedic section
offers thorough coverage of all of the individuals, organizations,
cultural forces, political issues, and legal decisions that have
combined to elevate the role of LGBTQ people at the ballot box, on
the campaign trail, in Washington, and in mayors' offices, city
councils, and school boards across the country. Complementing
reference entries are in-depth essays on the rising prominence of
gay Americans as voters, candidates, public officials, lawmakers,
and opinion leaders, providing further context for understanding
their impact on modern U.S. political processes and institutions
from the perspective of liberals and conservatives alike. Finally,
the set includes a collection of important primary source documents
that illuminate landmark events, examine gay policy priorities and
preferences, and showcase the beliefs and experiences of prominent
LGBTQ Americans in the world of politics.
