- Summary:
-
"The movement for gay and lesbian rights in America is a response to long-held beliefs that have, at times throughout the history of our country, made homosexuality legally, politically, and socially unacceptable. This collection of primary documents explores those beliefs and their counter-arguments, providing varying viewpoints on the complex issue of gay and lesbian rights. Personal testimonies, laws, opinion pieces, court cases, and other documents, dating from colonial times to the present day, encourage students to challenge their assumptions and strengthen critical thinking skills."--BOOK JACKET.
