"Making History is one of the definitive works on gay life. Through this collective testimony we may come to understand what it is to be 'the other'; in short, the other part of ourselves." -- Studs Terkel"Making History bears witness to the common dignity and humanity of its subjects and reminds us that in everyday courage and outrage, progress toward civil rights for all people is rooted." -- K. Kaufman, San Francisco Chronicle"An ambitious project well realized...smooth-reading text that will surely become a cornerstone of gay American studies." -- Booklist"[Making History] is a testament to the courage of individuals who have effected a positive change in our society." -- Publishers Weekly"...Rich and often moving...at times shocking, but often enlightening and inspiring: oral history at its most potent and rewarding." -- Kirkus Reviews"A contribution to the scholarship of gay activism....Marcus succeeds in giving a human face to what we are invited to regard as a historical phenomenon." -- The Los Angeles Times"Marcus...allows these stories of individual identity and courage to shine. Each story is told in strikingly different language and each is deeply personal and very often poignant." -- Chicago-Sun Times"As in the best of novels, there's a little bit of everything along the way: humor, anger, sensuality, poignant self-revelation, and transcendent courage." -- Armistead Maupin
