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.
