Vider uncovers how LGBTQ people reshaped domestic life in the
postwar United States. From the Stonewall riots to the protests of
ACT UP, histories of queer and trans politics have almost
exclusively centered on public activism. In The Queerness of Home,
Stephen Vider turns the focus inward, showing that the intimacy of
domestic space has been equally crucial to the history of postwar
LGBTQ life. Beginning in the 1940s, LGBTQ activists looked
increasingly to the home as a site of connection, care, and
cultural inclusion. They struggled against the conventions of
marriage, challenged the gendered codes of everyday labor,
reimagined domestic architecture, and contested the racial and
class boundaries of kinship and belonging. Retelling LGBTQ history
from the inside out, Vider reveals the surprising ways that the
home became, and remains, a charged space in battles for social and
economic justice, making it clear that LGBTQ people not only
realized new forms of community and culture for themselves-they
remade the possibilities of home life for everyone.
