This groundbreaking book for young readers captures the people and movements of gay and lesbian history in America. Profusely illustrated with period photographs, first-person accounts offer insight as each chapter identifies an important era. From the Gay '20s to the Kinsey study, from the McCarthy witch hunts to the Beat generation, from Stonewall to disco, and from AIDS to gay marriage and families, this overview gives a balanced look at how queer men and women have lived, worked, played and fought to overcome prejudice and discrimination for the past 125 years. Gay America offers an historically accurate evolution of gay and lesbian life in the United States that is unavailable in any other resource for teens. An ideal starting point for further reading, it includes an in-depth bibliography to encourage further exploration.
