Abstract

An exploration of the history of the complicated relationship between the left & "the homosexual question" gives special attention to such organized socialist & left-wing groups as the Socialist Workers Party, Democratic Socialists of America, & the Gay Liberation Front. Other matters discussed include left perspectives that have touched on homosexual issues; the impact of the sexual revolution of the 1960s-70s on the emergence of sexual politics; & current priorities of the Gay Left perspective in the US.
