Download The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle AudioBook Free
The combat for homosexual, lesbian, and trans civil rights - the years of outrageous injustice, the first battles, the heartbreaking defeats, and the victories beyond the dreams of the homosexual rights pioneers - is the most important civil rights issue of the present day. Based on thorough research plus more than 150 interviews, The Homosexual Revolution says this unfinished tale not through dried out facts but through remarkable accounts of excited struggles, with all the current sweep, depth, and intricacies that only an award-winning activist, scholar, and novelist like Lillian Faderman can evoke. The Homosexual Revolution commences in the 1950s, when rules categorised gays and lesbians as bad guys, the psychiatric career noticed them as emotionally ill, the churches noticed them as sinners, and population victimized them with irrational hatred. From this dark backdrop, a few daring people began to fight back, paving the way for the revolutionary changes of the 1960s and past. Faderman discusses the protests in the 1960s, the counter-top reaction of the 1970s and early on '80s, the decimated but united community during the Supports epidemic, and the existing hurdles for the right to marriage equality.
