Same-Sex Dynamics among Nineteenth-Century Americans by D. Michael Quinn

A Mormon Example

Using Mormonism as a case study of early American acceptance of same-sex intimacy, D. Michael Quinn examines long-term relationships among Mormon same-sex couples, women and men, and the social environment in which they flourished before the rise of homophobia in the late 1950s.
