Queer Politics
Course Description
The phrase, "The first Pride was a riot" has long been repeated in LGBTQ+ circles. But what does this phrase mean, and what histories does it draw upon? What are the political histories of sexual and gender minorities in the United States beyond and before "Pride?" What are the current political stakes of Pride's history as protest movement? What queer political futures are on the horizon? This course explores such questions.
