Description
Wisconsin's recent gay history is told in this second volume of R. Richard Wagner's groundbreaking work. The period between 1969 and 2000 saw significant milestones, including the first state to enact a gay rights law and the election of three openly gay/lesbian persons to Congress. The book chronicles an important movement, drawing on historical research and materials from Wagner's personal archive. It tells the stories of LGBT pioneers in Wisconsin, including legislators, activists, businesspeople, and everyday citizens who pushed back against injustice and found ways to live openly and proudly as themselves. This is a continuation of the first volume in this series, We've Been Here All Along.
