GAY AND LESBIAN HISTORY:
from the Victorian Era to Stonewall

This course explores the History of Sexuality and Sexual Orientation from the court of Queen Victoria to the birth of the modern Gay Rights Movement on the streets of Greenwich Village. Focusing on Europe and the United States, we will explore the birth of modern Gay and Lesbian identities and the countervailing social and legal norms that sought to suppress them.  Topics covered will include Manly Love, Gender and Transgender, Sodomy Trials, Lesbian Love in the 1920s, Gay Harlem and the Stonewall Riots. Today’s debates over gay marriage and GBLT rights will be referenced in terms of the changing historical meaning and social acceptance of alternate sexualities.
