The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle
by Lillian Faderman - History, Nonfiction

The fight for gay, lesbian and trans civil rights --- the years of outrageous injustice, the early battles, the heartbreaking defeats, and the victories beyond the dreams of the gay rights pioneers --- is the most important civil rights issue of the present day. Based on rigorous research and more than 150 interviews, THE GAY REVOLUTION tells this unfinished story through dramatic accounts of passionate struggles, with all the sweep, depth and intricacies only an award-winning activist, scholar and novelist like Lillian Faderman can evoke.
