"This insightful and absorbing collection confirms John D'Emilio's stature as the gay and lesbian movement's premier chronicler and analyst. D'Emilio is a rare scholar and activist whose writing is clear and direct. Each essay tells vivid stories, shares wisdom earned through participation and observation--all in an engaging and inclusive voice. This is one of the most interesting collections on contemporary gay and lesbian history yet to be published."--Urvashi Vaid, columnist for "The Advocate" and long-time activist
