GAY AND LESBIAN LIBERATION
This heading is seldom used.
See both broad and narrower headings for various references to advances in gay
civil rights and the struggles of conservative social elements to maintain
discriminatory laws and attitudes. Almost any heading in this index, given the
subject matter, touches on some aspect of gays and lesbians within the larger
society. Just a few examples of the broader (and overlapping) headings are
DISCRIMINATION, GAY HISTORY, HOMOPHOBIA, HUMAN RIGHTS,
and INTOLERANCE, while some few examples of major narrower headings are
CENSORSHIP, HEALTH CARE, LEGISLATION, and SCHOOLS. The user
is advised to examine the list of descriptors which precedes the body of the index
to get an overview of headings used and for direction in investigating the matter
of just how much "liberation" has occurred in the past decades.
