Summary

Merely being gay in America, argues Gilreath (law, Wake Forest U.), is a political act. Being out of the closet is challenging the "coerced definition" of what it means to be a normal member of society, while staying in the closet is accommodating the prevailing sociopolitical structure. In this work he describes the sociopolitical dimension of homosexuality in further detail and attempts to outline a common program that can unite homosexuals and their straight allies in pursuing equal rights.
