Prof. credits govt. with improving gay rights

By BRIDGETTE TAYLOR | October 29, 2009

CURIE KIM Governmental change, rather than grassroots activism, was primarily responsible for the improvement of relations between police and gay and lesbian individuals in Chicago during the early 1970s, according to University of Illinois history and gender and women's studies professor John D'Emilio, who delivered the College's 10th annual Stonewall Lecture on Thursday. D'Emilio discussed his research on the gay rights movement in his address, "Queering the Past, or: Richard Nixon: Gay Liberationist?," held in Filene Auditorium. D'Emilio's research focuses on gay and lesbian communities in urban centers, including San Francisco, Harlem and Buffalo, N.Y., during the mid-20th century. "It was the worst time to be queer," D'Emilio said of the period.
