Making History: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Equal Rights, 1945-1990 : An Oral History

Rating:
Summary: Excellent gay oral history!
Review: I am glad to say I own a copy; an autographed one at that! This book is a collection of oral histories from gay rights activists over a 50 year span. It is diverse in terms of gender and race. I think Marcus even interviews pioneering straight allies as well. Many gay studies texts are not accessible to your everyday reader. However, any literate gay person could read this book. I majored in gay studies in college and I found this book to be a constant useful resource. I'm sad to see that it's out of print. Marcus has written many easy-to-read books that have advanced the cause of gay rights. He gets my applause.
