Summary:

A history of the major battles and policy initiatives that have helped form the modern gay and lesbian movement

Creating Change tells the story behind some of the most bitterly contested and controversial public events and public policy battles in the past generation and possibly in American history. The book traces the work and gauges the impact of the gay and lesbian movement since the Stonewall Inn riots. An illustration of the way in which the American political and cultural landscape became what it is today, these essays explore how social change is brought about.
