‘In this compelling and illuminating history of one of America’s most radical social movements, Humphrey’s, winner of the C Wright Mills award for his book Tearoom Trade, tells the complete story of the birth and growth of gay liberation. From the organization of the first homosexual leagues over forty years ago to the 1970s, when gay men and women by the thousands are leaving closets and taking to the streets, Humphrey’s gives a full account of the evolution of gay lib’s aspirations and goals, its search for internal unity, and its growing militancy.<\/p>\n

The life story of the homophile movement, told here with an all-too-rare blend of sympathy and objectivity, offers the reader the insight he needs to understand on of the most urgent please ever made for personal freedom.’<\/p>\n
