| Summary |
Explore the early history of the gay rights movement!In the words of editor Vern L. Bullough: "Although there was no single leader in the gay and lesbian community who achieved the fame and reputation of Martin Luther King, there were a large number of activists who put their careers and reputations on the line. It was a motley crew of radicals and reformers, drawn together by the cause in spite of personality and philosophical differences. Their stories are told in the following pages."Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context illuminates |
