Queer Clout

Chicago and the Rise of Gay Politics

Timothy Stewart-Winter

In focusing on Chicago–and moving away from the big events and figures that have dominated LGBT history so far–Stewart-Winter provides a fascinating insight into how gays and lesbians in other cities built their communities and political organizations. . . . [He] has produced an outstanding piece of scholarship, one that does an impressive amount of work in uncovering Chicago LGBT politics. This book represents a key foundation for any future work on LGBT politics and beyond. ~ Journal of Politics
