(Yet Another) Brief Synopsis:

As the methodology section suggests, the US case study outlines the evolution of sexual rights organizing -- and more specifically queer organizing -- in a place where queerness was developed as a distinct academic field. This case study serves as a baseline for other investigations, showing the ways that queer movements operate in a formally named context. This section is comprised of three subsections:

• The Rise of State-Centric Advocacy in American Sexual Rights Organizing
• The Limits of Legal Recognition in U.S. LGBT Advocacy
• Embodied Theory: Mutual Aid, Anti-Normativity, and Queer Autonomy Beyond the State

Enjoy!
