John D'Emilio
Discusses the organization, growth, tactics, philosophies, and significance of the reform movement in terms of the freedom of sexual expression, cultural attitudes, and modern society With
thorough documentation of the oppression of homosexuals and
biographical sketches of the lesbian and gay heroes who helped the
contemporary gay culture to emerge,Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities

from 1940 to 1970. John D'Emilio's new preface and afterword examine the
conditions that shaped the book and the growth of gay and lesbian
historical literature.
"How many students of American political
culture know that during the McCarthy era more people lost their jobs
for being alleged homosexuals than for being Communists? . . . These
facts are part of the heretofore obscure history of homosexuality in
America—a history that John D'Emilio thoroughly documents in this
important book."—George DeStefano,Nation
"John
D'Emilio provides homosexual political struggles with something that
every movement requires—a sympathetic history rendered in a
dispassionate voice."—New York Times Book Review
"A milestone in the history of the American gay movement."—Rudy Kikel,Boston Globe
