This course
looks at the history of gay men and lesbians. It also considers the unique ways
in which gays and lesbians have contributed to the history and culture of their
region and national identity while maintaining a diverse subculture. The course
explores the different historical and social roles of gays and lesbians and how
they survived under oppressions that ranged from the denial of civic and civil
rights to execution. At the completion of this course, students will have
expanded the traditional historical narrative by recognizing the presence and
agency of gays and lesbians. |
