Opinions Throughout History: LGBTQ+ Rights

The debate over trans rights has taken center stage in the 2020s as politicians, activists, and citizens debate various aspects of gender nonconformity in American culture. This is part of a debate that has been going on since before recorded history, as individuals in various human cultures have placed different values on conformity and individuality. This volume of Opinions Throughout History looks at how concepts of LGBTQ+ people have changed over the course of American history and how this has resulted in the restriction and expansion of rights and privileges while also representing the evolution of American awareness about sexual and gender identity.
