Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present

I first read sections of this book when it was fairly recent, in the late 1990s, but at the time, I didn't have the time for the rest, so I put it on my TBR list. I didn't think it would take me twenty years to get there (and over five years with the book waiting on my shelves).

Reading the final section on the progress of gay rights in the 1980s and 1990s it feels there's been significant change since then, but with the increasing influence of rigth-wing politics maybe some of that ground is disappearing, not for the first time in history. I like this book for including excerpts from books and other materials to illustrate the topics discussed. ( )
