Summary

Unlike many social movements, the gay and lesbian struggle for visibility and rights has succeeded in combining a unified group identity with the celebration of individual differences. Forging Gay Identities explores how this happened, tracing the evolution of gay life and organizations in San Francisco from the 1950s to the mid-1990s.

Author Biography

Elizabeth A. Armstrong is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Indiana University.
