Finding Out, Third Edition introduces readers to lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer (LGBTQ) studies. By combining accessible introductory and explanatory material with primary texts and artifacts, this text/reader explores the development and growth of LGBT identities and the interdisciplinary nature of sexuality studies. The third edition has been thoroughly updated to include recent and relevant legal, political, and culture developments such as the ongoing national debates surrounding marriage equality, along with new primary source readings and photos. Expanded topical discussion of important issues in LGBT studies such as trans identity and issues of race and class makes Finding Out, Third Edition an even more comprehensive introduction to the field.
