Description
"Much acclaimed when first published in 1977 as a pioneering study of the growth of homosexual consciousness, this classic and prize-winning book is now reissued in a revised and updated version. Coming Out records the development of lesbian and gay identities and struggles for equality from the harsh legal and social oppression of the nineteenth century to the tremendous impact of the gay liberation movement in the 1970s and beyond."--From cover.
