A narrative history of the United States that places GLBT people at the center of the story. Written in the tradition of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Vicki Eaklor's Queer America, A People's GLBT History of the United States, brings vividly to life the people whose work helped change the course of the twentieth century. From the Harlem Renaissance, changes in military policy, and the Stonewall riots to GLBT rights, organizations, and alliances; AIDS; and same-sex marriage, Eaklor argues that "transformations in the social organizations of gender and sexuality are central to American history and everybody's history”.
