The Gay and Lesbian Liberation Movement
by Margaret Cruikshank

This book is the radical quest for revolutionary change, explores the
politics and roots of the gay and lesbian liberation movement in the United
States. Cruikshank, a lesbian and gay liberation activist, focuses on the
practices, theory, successes, interconnectedness, and failures of gay
liberation activism. She theorizes that there are three new variables beyond
homophobia in attitudes toward gay society. The factors of heterosexism,
heterocentrism, and compulsory heterosexuality all have a major impact on
the development of self and the creation of a political movement within the
gay community. Cruikshank's primary objective is to make gay liberation
understandable to the lay reader and to encourage further research.
