Between 1966 and 1975 North American youth activists established
over 35 school- and community-based gay liberation youth groups
whose members sought control over their own bodies, education, and
sexual and social relations. This book focuses on three
groundbreaking New York City groups -- Gay Youth (GY), Street
Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.), and the Gay
International Youth Society of George Washington High School (GWHS)
-- from the advent of gay liberation in NYC in 1969 to just after
its dissolution and the rise of identity politics by 1975. Cohen
examines how gay liberation -- with its rejection of stultifying
sex roles, attack on institutional oppression, connection between
personal and political liberation, celebration of innate androgyny,
and resolute anti-war and anti-capitalist stance -- shaped
understandings of sexual identity, membership criteria,
organization, decision-making, the roles of youth and adults, and
efforts to effect social change.
