Preferred term

gay and lesbian movement  

Definition

  • Transnational gay and lesbian movements bring individuals and organizations together across national boundaries based on shared sexual identities, with the intent to end discrimination and oppression related to sexuality. Gay and lesbian transnational organizing can be traced back to the 1920s, but only since the 1970s can those efforts be considered global.
