Love’s Next Meeting
Reforming Sodom
Heather White’s Reforming Sodom is a bold and learned challenge to the notion that the rise of the gay and lesbian rights movement in the United States represented a triumph of secularism. On the contrary, she argues, gay activists drew on liberal Protestant thought, not merely intermittently or as a cudgel against fundamentalists, but as one of their most fundamental sources of inspiration. Pulling together threads that have been already present…
Queer Clout
In postwar America, the path to political power for gays and lesbians led through city hall. By the late 1980s, politicians and elected officials, who had originally sought political advantage from raiding gay bars and carting their patrons off to jail, were pursuing gays and lesbians aggressively as a voting bloc—not least by campaigning in those same bars. Gays had acquired power and influence. They had clout.Tracing the gay movement's trajecto…
Front Porch Politics
Michael Stewart Foley's Front Porch Politics offers a panoramic view of Americans who joined a variety of social movements in the two decades after the 1960s. Foley argues that interpretations of this era's political history have overemphasized how Americans voted and underemphasized their other forms of political activity and civic engagement. The book's central contention is that “in many ways the 1970s and 1980s turned out to be more like the …
The Law and Order Origins of Urban Gay Politics
It was in big-city municipal government that American gays and lesbians first won political power. This article reinterprets the rise of urban gay politics, emphasizing the complex and changing relationship between gay activists, policing, and the politics of law and order. Drawing on evidence and examples from Chicago, Stewart-Winter examines such developments as the decline of gay bar raids, the implementation of police sensitivity training pro…
Queer Law and Order
In November 1970, after a lengthy foot chase, two Chicago police officers apprehended James Clay Jr., a twenty-four-year-old African American man, and fired eight shots into his back, killing him. Clay, who was wearing women’s clothing when police encountered him, had a long arrest record that included charges for impersonating the opposite sex and solicitation to commit prostitution. The killing was covered by the local Chicago newspapers, inclu…
A Community’s Response to the Problem of Invisibility
The 300 people that gathered in Newark, New Jersey, on a fall day in 2011 were not the typical academic crowd. That day, LGBTQ activists and high school students, street workers and church leaders, politicians and university students, professors, administrators and university staff sat rapt, watching rare and stunning images of “New Millennium Butches,” resplendent in tailored suits of black, pink or purple, flashing before them on a thirty-foot …
Chicago Whispers
Not a Soldier, Not a Slacker
This essay argues that the 1940 Selective Service Act introduced new tensions between pacifism and male citizenship in the United States. Even as the draft required tens of millions of American men to answer Uncle Sam's call and promoted a new norm of male military obligation, it also specified the acceptable grounds for conscientious objection and created bureaucratic mechanisms for distinguishing between sincere objectors and ‘slackers’. Using …
