- Title
Before AIDS: Gay Health Politics in the 1970s.
- Authors
STRUB, WHITNEY
- Abstract
Batza shows how gay health politics drew sustenance from Black Panther Party precedents, feminist challenges to patriarchal medicine, and anticapitalist critiques that "proved a driving force in gay health activism" (40). In residentially segregated Chicago, the van's itineraries generally followed routes that imagined "gay" as white, leaving a fully intersectional gay health politics still out of reach. Batza hews close to the central organizational case studies; lesbian health work, she notes, was generally subsumed under broader women's health efforts (highlighting the gendered ways men frequently assumed ownership of gay politics).
