Class Description:: Then and Now: Queer life in the U.S. has changed significantly from the mid-twentieth century to today. By examining a selection of poetry, prose, and film, our class will try to answer the questions: how did we get to where we are today? and where do we go next? From the "lavender scare" to the Stonewall Riots to the AIDS pandemic to marriage equality to the genderqueer and trans movements, we will explore how LGBT+ authors and filmmakers have both responded to and shaped the ethos of our times.
