The Routledge History of Queer America
Making Adolescence More or Less Modern
There's No T in Fair
The Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender History's scholarly Making the Framework FAIR report (2014) recommends substantial revisions to California's K–12 History–Social Science Framework in order to bring it into compliance with the FAIR Education Act.

Where She Comes From
This article attempts to answer the oft-asked question of where my daughter—an African American girl with two white, middle-class gay dads—“comes from,” by tracing power constellations that make our family possible. Through critical autoethnography, it interweaves narrative about the evolving relationship we share with her birth family with analysis of intersecting, conflicting histories of U.S. transracial adoption, same-sex family recognition, …

This article proposes that the museum is vital to the evolution of the …
The Glass Coffin
In San Francisco's Castro District, the gay bar Twin Peaks Tavern has long had a reputation as “the Glass Coffin” due to its high visibility and aging clientele. This essay explores the history of how Twin Peaks Tavern earned its reputation. To understand its transformation, we need to look at its visibility and particular kind of sociability that attracted older, predominantly white and middle-class gay men. The documentary Beauty Before Age (Sy…
The Tightrope of Normalcy
In the early twentieth century, American developmental citizenship presumed a gradual extension of rights based upon a naturalized trajectory that would lead individuals toward heterosexuality, gender complimentarity, and increasing social and political investment. Means changed dramatically through which psychological, pedagogical, and political discourses positioned adolescence, sexuality, and gender in relationship to national belonging. Yet c…
