Part One covers "the birth, life, and future of a queer polity of literature, circa 1964 to 1980." In Part Two, he describes how "the purposes and ambitions of queer literature change[d] in the ‘80s with the rise of AIDS and a punishing, homophobic backlash."

He has been involved with LGBT politics since 1969 as an activist, organizer, writer, publisher, editor, and independent scholar. He is the author of the award-winning book A Queer History of the United States.
