The repressive 1950s era saw the launch of important rights organizations that led to the rebellions of the 1960s, culminating in the game-changing Stonewall Uprising of June 1969. Measom explores the devastation of the AIDS crisis, its impact on gay culture, and the fight to bring awareness to the disease. The modern period includes coverage of the struggles for equality in marriage and the military, and the push for gender rights. A groundbreaking homage to a historic movement and its milestone achievements and hurdles.--Adapted from jacket.
