An important and original new contribution to lesbian and gay studies, "We Are Everywhere" brings together the key primary sources relating to the politics of homosexuality. Presenting political, historical, legal, literary, and psychological documents which trace the evolution of the lesbian and gay movement, it includes documents as diverse as organization pamphlets, essays, polemics, speeches, newspaper and journal articles, and academic papers.
"We Are Everywhere" includes writings from the beginnings of the gay and lesbian movement in the 19th century by Karl Ulrichs, Magnus Hirschfeld, and John Addington Symonds; legal and government studies concerning rights of gay and lesbian citizens; articles from the early US liberation movement publications such as "Mattachine Review," "The Ladder" and "ONE"; documents from the first days of the AIDS epidemic to current activism; statements and writings from the movements within "the movement" (bisexuals, S/M, conservatives); and finally, a look at the future of lesbian and gay politics.
Together the documents allow readers to examine a diverse set of issues: the concept of gay love before "homosexuality," the development of political movements based on homosexual identity, the history of government persecution of homosexuality, the impact of feminism on the modern lesbian and gay rights movement, and the emergence of queer theory.

The two hundred years of lesbian and gay political writing in this monumental volume welcome readers to an unparalleled banquet of conversations across the years."-"The Lesbian Review of Books "A new collection of original source material, edited by Mark Blasius and Shane Phelan, offers a treasure trove of our historical documents.... there's no doubting that this books is a reference work of exceptional value.... the richness of this volume lies in the inclusion of less famous but no less important voices."-Bay Area Reporter "This is an extraordinarily exciting project . . . Amidst the rash of high-theory collections, this book explores the rich complexity of lesbian and gay politics across history and across cultures. The editors' willingness to re-open old debates and turn recent discussions in new directions will shed new light on the continuing problems . . . of lesbian, gay, and bisexual politics today."-Tim Cook, Williams College "This fine collection broadens the scope of gay and lesbian studies. Having such diverse material in one place is extremely valuable. I look forward to using "We Are Everywhere."-Margaret Cruikshank, author of "The Gay and r sbian Liberation Movement
