		Indeed, lesbian and gay studies can be charted along much the same trajectory as Women's, African-American, Asian-American or Latino/a Ethnic Studies, all of which were institutionalized (however tenuously in these times of "down-sizing" colleges) at historically specific moments at the conjuncture of their respective (and overlapping) political activism, cultural production, and scholarship.
		Indeed, lesbian/gay studies shares more with these other emergent subdisciplines than a certain path toward discursive legitimation within the academy (though this is not to suggest that the struggles of every field of study have all been identical).
		While suggesting "lesbian and gay" retains a queer reverberation, signalled by _The Reader's_ inclusion of activist concerns and transgendering phenomena, it is not one that includes bisexuality.

		Although these pioneers of the gay rights movement are lauded by civil libertarians and activists for their contribution to the political and social liberation of homosexuals, they are also significant for their concern in recognizing the importance of collecting and preserving materials relating to homosexuals and their vehicles of self-expression and identification.
		Yet this nascent attempt at identifying and collecting materials relating to the homosexual experience was itself inhibited and circumscribed by the need of many lesbians and gay men to lead hidden lives, fearful that self-disclosure would result in a loss of employment or legal difficulties.
