The sweeping story of the struggle for gay and lesbian rights based
on amazing interviews with politicians, military figures, and
members of the entire LGBT community who face these challenges
every day The fight for gay and lesbian civil rights, the years of
outrageous injustice, the early battles, the heart-breaking defeats
and the victories beyond the dreams of the gay rights pioneers is
the most important civil rights issue of the present day. Lillian
Faderman tells this unfinished story through the dramatic accounts
of passionate struggles with sweep, depth and feeling. Against the
dark backdrop of the 1950s, a few brave people began to fight back,
paving the way for the revolutionary changes of the 1960s and
beyond. Faderman discusses the protests in the 1960s; the counter
reaction of the 1970s and early eighties; the decimated but united
community during the AIDS epidemic; and the current hurdles for the
right to marriage equality. The Gay Revolution paints a nuanced
portrait of the LGBT civil rights movement. A defining account,
this is the most complete and authoritative book of its kind.
