    We became a people. Add the first question. Was this review helpful to you? Drawing on years of archival research and more than interviews, Faderman tells this history of social and political change through the experiences of individual people, those who found themselves in trouble and those who dedicated themselves to making constructive trouble on behalf of the rights and dignity of LGBT people. For LGBT people not familiar with their own history, the book is an essential reminder that progress was not inevitable or easily won. The struggle for social respect and legal equality began in earnest more than 50 years ago, and was built on even earlier acts of courageous resistance.

    Those witch hunts, led by the local police, the FBI, and investigators for the Civil Service Commission, were the enforcement arm of a morality hysteria that cost tens of thousands of people their jobs and forced countless others to live with daily fear that a slight slip in a carefully maintained facade could bring the world crashing down on them.

    Faderman also reminds us that, contrary to much of the public imagination, the gay rights movement did not begin with Stonewall. Stonewall was led by street kids and transgender people of color, but it also inspired middle-aged professional gay guys who took to the streets in creative new ways.

    And the widely publicized spirit of defiance changed the way many gay people looked at themselves. They lost that wounded look that fags all had ten years ago. Many gay men took on a different wounded look during the scourge of AIDS in the s and s. Faderman chronicles some of the villains and heroes of the era, which devastated the community and a generation of leaders, but also pushed or pulled many people out of the closet, creating expanding circles of allies and advocates among their families and friends—and setting the stage for a new generation of effective activism.

    Many of the current fissures have been evident through the decades: Also remarkably familiar is the rhetoric of the enemies of LGBT people. What we hear today from some anti-gay activists sounds very little different from language used to justify the witch hunts of 60 years ago. For example, as the head of the Civil Service Commission, John Macy was a stubborn enforcer of homophobic rules that forced people out of government jobs in the s.

    Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution

    For all the phenomenal shifts in public opinion, we still saw many 21st-century ballot initiatives against marriage equality won by portraying gays as threats to children, the same way Anita Bryant attacked anti-discrimination laws in the s. Of course, no single book, even a large and ambitious one, can provide a comprehensive history of a movement that spans generations.

    There are inevitably gaps. In chapters on the marriage-equality movement, for example, Faderman has to condense into a relatively few pages something that has recently been the subject of multiple book-length treatments.

    It is not hard to think of individual strategists and activists who have played crucial roles in the movement but do not appear in this book. And the thematic chapters, covering overlapping periods of time, occasionally left me flipping back a few pages to remind myself what year I was reading about.

    It is also worth noting that, while the book presents the history of the movement in the United States, the LGBT equality movement is increasingly a global phenomenon, as is the often deadly resistance and backlash. Nobody understands the challenges of this kind of undertaking better than Faderman, author of numerous books on gay and lesbian history and literature, including Surpassing the Love of Men, Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers , and Gay L.

    She says that among the pieces left on the cutting-room floor during the editing process were in-depth looks at the role played by progressive religious activists, activism aimed at influencing portrayals of LGBT people in the media, and the influence of LGBT sports figures.
