A groundbreaking volume surveying the contributions that gay and
lesbian Americans have made to the democratic process. In 1969,
when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people first
participated as a group in the political process, they faced an
imposing array of obstacles. Everything from personal rejection and
violence; state anti-sodomy laws; exclusion from the armed forces;
and legal discrimination in employment, housing, credit, consumer
service, and public accommodations. Nevertheless, by the end of the
millennium, LGBT people had transformed themselves into a
well-organized and begrudgingly respected political force. In the
process, they dramatically changed laws and attitudes across the
nation. This new volume tells the story of the rapid growth and
remarkable successes of the LGBT movement—a record that makes it
one of the most successful social movements in U.S. history and,
ironically, the least studied.
