Based on rigorous research and more than 150 interviews, The Gay Revolution tells this unfinished story not through dry facts, but through dramatic accounts of passionate struggles, with all the sweep, depth, and intricacies that only an award-winning activist, scholar, and novelist like Lillian Faderman can evoke. The Gay Revolution begins in the 1950s, when law classified gays and lesbians as criminals, the psychiatric profession saw them as mentally ill, the churches saw them as sinners, and society victimized them with irrational hatred. Against this dark backdrop, a few brave people began to fight back, paving the way for the revolutionary changes of the 1960s and beyond. Faderman discusses the protests in the 1960s, the counter reaction of the 1970s and early eighties, the decimated but united community during the AIDS epidemic, and the current hurdles for the right to marriage equality. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Gay rights $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Gay liberation movement $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Gays $z United States $x History. 700 1 $a Postel, Donna. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11464257 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781494597184_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2EB502BEA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
