"Not so long ago hardly anything was said of the Lesbian Liberation Movement and the
Gay Liberation Movement, indeed, the terms gay and lesbian were not even used if some
other expression could be found. Today, by contrast, hardly a day passes when something
important does not occur, and is carried by the major media and disseminated on more
personal levels through blogs and the social media. If anything, there is perhaps
too much "news" and not enough "information." Obviously, a book like this cannot keep
up with the news, but it can do something equally important when it comes to information,
by reminding us of the past and what has been going and just how fast events are moving.
The Historical Dictionary of the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Movements covers the history
of this movement through a cross-referenced dictionary with over 1000 entries on specific
countries and regions, influential historical figures, laws that criminalized same-sex
sexuality, various historical terms that have been used to refer to aspects of same-sex
love, and contemporary events and legal decisions, but a look at the chronology gives
a particularly acute feeling for the passage of time, and the bibliography offers
other sources of information and reflection. This enhances the value of this historical
dictionary not only for those within the movements but also those outside who do not
quite understand them." -- Publisher's description
