HIST 2111 - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender U.S. History

Institution:

Normandale Community College

Subject:

Description:

Students deepen their understanding of the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in U.S. society and the historical roots within the United States of those who experience same-sex attraction and those who identify outside expectations for their perceived gender, understood now as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. Students trace roots from the colonial era, when behavior rather than identity formed the common understanding of sexuality, through the nineteenth-century when the concepts of hetero- and homosexuality were developed, into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, when a focus on particular social identities became a salient feature of U.S. society.
