The history of sexuality is central to social history, the history of ideas, the realization or repression of human rights, and other areas of focus. This is also true about those who have had, or do have, what could be called minority sexualities. Samesex attraction has generally been a minority sexuality; it has been the object of tremendous repression and vociferous complaint but also one of praise by talented poets and philosophers. The Historical Dictionary of Homosexuality provides a comprehensive survey of samesex relations from ancient China and Greece to the contemporary world.It covers the gay rights movement from its origins in 19th century Europe to the nascent global network today. Philosophic treatments, such as natural law and queer theory, along with legal issues and court decisions are included. Global in its coverage of the variety of samesex relations, their legal treatment, and social norms concerning samesex attraction, this reference includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and crossreferenced dictionary entries on specific countries and regions, influential historical figures, laws that criminalized samesex sexuality, various historical terms that have been used to refer to aspects of samesex love, and contemporary events and legal decisions.
