Photo circa 1883. LGBT rights in the United States vary depending on the laws of each state in the country. Same-sex consensual sexual activity has been legal throughout the country since 26 June 2003. Marriage and adoption of gay people are legal in all states after the Supreme Court's decision of June 26, 2015. In the United States, the first forms of modern LGBT activism had their origins, especially after the 1969 stonewall episode. This served as a catalyst for a movement that gained national significance and quickly spread to other countries. A 2018 Gallup survey found that 67 percent of Americans favor same-sex marriage. As in other countries, the way homosexuality is understood in the United States has evolved from sin, crime and disease to a natural fact. Because different U.S. federal states have different laws, the decriminalization of homosexual acts has been done in the U.S. in a very staggered manner. The first state to eliminate its sodomy law was Illinois (1962). In some other states, homosexual acts may be punished until 2003. Adaptation of laws has been significantly delayed for social and cultural development. The equalization of homosexuals is part and effect of the liberalization of sexuality in relation to cultural traditions that have lost their meaning during the twentieth century and which have given way to the concept of individual sexual freedom. The liberation of homosexuals began in the United States during World War II. Important in the way were Alfred Kinsey's study of Male Sexual Behavior (1948), the founding of the Mattachin Society (1950), the civil rights movement (1955-1968), some of whose promoters were later in gay activists, Stonewall riots (1969), the creation of militant organizations such as the Gay Liberation Front (1969), the removal of homosexuality from the catalogue of diseases of the Psychiatric Association of the United States (1973), the inclusion of minorities (since the 1990s), and the struggle for same-sex marriage in the 21st century. Homosexuality in Native American cultures dances to Berdash, drawing by George Kathleen (1796-1872). There are reports of more than 130 other indigenous peoples, in addition to Native Americans, who had a special category of men who wore women's clothing, performed women's work, such as baskets or ceramics, had sex with other men and performed a special spiritual function in the community. Called hysteria (two spirits), they were not classified as homosexuals, but were considered the third or fourth sex, the peculiarity of which was that in one body they had two souls. Among the first Europeans to describe Berdache in the territory that is now the U.S. are Christian missionaries and pioneers such as Alvaro Nunez Cabeza de Waca, Juak Marquette, Pierre Liette and Pierre Francois Xavier de Charlemagne. Even Europeans interested in ethnology, such as the artist George Kathleen, who observed, described and painted berdaches even in the 1830s - were preconscriminating its elimination. Although some indigenous people identify themselves as hysterical as part of a renewed interest in local culture, the multi-sex indigenous culture has almost completely disappeared under European rule. From the beginning of European colonization to the twentieth century, the perception of homosexuality was defined by a biblical tradition that is invariably associated with the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Puritans, who had emigrated mainly to New England since 1620, particularly hated sodomy and considered it, along with bestiality, the worst of sins. With the exception of Georgia, a state that did not have legislation on homosexual acts, sodomy was punishable in the Thirteen British Colonies. In the states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina, homosexuality has long been considered under British common law, which criminalized any sexual acts that did not serve to reproduce, regardless of the sex of the offenders. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Virginia and South Carolina had their own laws, the contents of which most of the time were literally copied from the ban on sodomy Leviticus, in the Bible. In Pennsylvania, laws have changed several times; while the quakers dominated the colony (1681-1693), Pennsylvania was the only colony that did not punish male homosexuality with death. With the exception of Massachusetts, women are subject to laws prohibiting sodomy, as do men; however, in colonial times, the processes of lesbian acts were extremely rare. The first remaining case of European sodomy in the territory, which later became American, was the case of the French translator William, who died in 1566 in the New Caspian colony in Florida. The first known conviction of sodomy in an American British colony was the sentencing of Richard Cornish, who was hanged in Virginia in 1625, allegedly after raping another man. In 1629, five young men were accused of emigrating aboard Talbot to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in homosexual acts; the local authorities do not consider the most capable of judging such a terrible crime and sent them back to England for trial. The first woman to be charged with acts of lesbian acts was Massachusetts Bay resident Elizabeth Johnson in 1648. Not many cases of sodomy were known until the end of the 19th century, so they are considered exceptional cases. The 18th and 19th centuries Liberalization of Criminal Law Main Article: Sodomy Laws in the United States After U.S. Independence in 1776, states supported sodomy laws inherited from colonial times that usually provided for the death penalty for homosexual acts among men. Homosexual acts among women until the end of the 20th century were also punished in most states, but harassment was very rare and the punishments were more lenient than those corresponding to the same crime among men. As part of the widespread liberalization that had its source in the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, Pennsylvania was the first of 13 American states to abolish the death penalty for sodomy in 1786. Instead, they were sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment and confiscation of all property. Other American states followed; however, in South Carolina, convicted sodomites could be sentenced to death until 1873. The beginning of the transformation of homosexuality into a psychological problem Perception that homosexuality was a psychological problem, reached its zenith with the advent of psychoanalysis (1896). However, its roots were already found in the early nineteenth century. In pedagogical publications on sexuality, such as the Young People's Guide William Andrus Alcott, 1833) and Lecture for Young Men on Chastity (Sylvester Graham, 1834), argued that undesirable sexual behavior, such as masturbation or homosexuality, had serious health consequences: madness, St. Vito's dance, epilepsy, mental retardation, paralysis, stroke, blindness, hypochondria and tuberculosis. Tolerant forms In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the persecution of homosexuality was caused by a cult of friendship that also spread to the United States. Among cultural classes, same-sex friendships often become exclusive and highly emotional, sometimes erotic. However, these friendships were approved by society because, according to many modern philologists, they should not have been sexual in nature. Revelations documents are in the works and legacy of authors Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Byard Taylor (1825-1878) and Walt Whitman (1819-1892). A sociocultural feature of the 19th century was the so-called Boston marriage, an emotionally intense and exclusive long-term friendship between two women, often feminists, who lived together in the same house. This decision allowed them to gain more freedom in relation to their social or political obligations than was possible for married women of the time. The expression can be used, for example, for writers Sarah Orn Jewett and Annie Adams Fields, as well as for feminists Susan B. Anthony and Anna Howard Shaw. The fact that a woman preferred to coexist with another woman to marriage was accepted in Victorian society because there should have been no erotic interest between them. Whether these women can be considered lesbians is still being discussed by experts. 1900-1940 Prisoners of the Crown Prosecution Service in Colorado, convicted of homosexuality for transporting stones and wearing women's clothing (photo taken between 1900 and 1910). As John Logery described, since the U.S. entered World War I (1917) and mass recruitment of men, cases of homosexual acts have increased significantly. A major case of gay harassment occurred at the so-called sex scandal in Newport, which occurred in 1919 at Newport Naval Base in Rhode Island. Dozens of civilians and soldiers, including the religious Episcopal Castraence, were arrested during the investigation. The first organization in late 1924, Henry Gerber founded the Society for Human Rights in Chicago. Despite the fact that the organization presented itself as a people with mental anomalies, in fact, was the first organization to defend gay rights in the United States. They also published the first American gay magazine, Friendship and Freedom. A few months after its founding, the Human Rights Society was dissolved by the police and detained by the founders. The first niches of the subculture and meeting points See also: Pansi mania Industrialization allowed a continuous improvement in the living conditions of the middle class in the 19th century, which led to profound changes in life forms.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

  • Beyond the Gay Ghetto
    chapter 1 Beyond the Gay Ghetto Founding Debates in Gay Liberation In October 1969, Gay Liberation Theater staged a street performance the group called “No Vietnamese Ever Called Me a Queer.” These activ- ists brought their claims to two distinct audiences: fellow students at the University of California, Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza and fellow gay men at a meeting of the San Francisco–based Society for Individual Rights (SIR). The student audience was anti-war but largely straight, while SIR backed gay inclusion in the military and exemplified the moderate center of the “homophile” movement—“homophile” being the name for an existing and older network of gay and lesbian activism. Gay Liberation Theater adapted Muhammad Ali’s statement when refusing the draft that “no Viet Cong ever called me nigger” and, through this, indicted a society that demanded men kill rather than desire one another. They opposed the Vietnam War and spoke to the self-interest of gay men by declaring: “We’re not going to fight in an army that discriminates against us. Nor are we going to fight for a country that will not hire us and fires us. We are going to fight for ourselves and our lovers in places like Berkeley where the Berkeley police last April murdered homosexual brother Frank Bartley (never heard of him?) while cruising in Aquatic Park.” Frank Bartley was a thirty-three-year-old white man who had recently been killed by a plainclothes officer who claimed that Bartley “resisted arrest” and “reached for his groin.”1 In highlighting Bartley’s case, Gay Liberation Theater pushed back against the demands of assim- ilation and respectability and linked opposition to the Vietnam War with 17 Hobson - Lavender and Red.indd 17 29/06/16 4:30 PM 18 | Beyond the Gay Ghetto support for sexual expression.
