Same-Sex Dynamics Among Nineteenth-Century Americans
by D. Michael Quinn
What were same-sex relationships like in America's heartland during the nineteenth century, far from the Bohemian enclaves of New York City and San Francisco? The extraordinary answer--that same-sex intimacy was widely accepted--is found in D. Michael Quinn's "Same-Sex Dynamics among Nineteenth-Century Americans", which traces the incidence of and response to same-sex behaviors in the United States to the mid-twentieth century. It will be must reading for anyone interested in gay and lesbian issues and the changing concepts of friendship and sexuality. This book will be of special interest to historians, sociologists, anthropologists, religious leaders, psychiatrists, and physicians, as well as to Mormons. Quinn, a respected scholar of Mormon social history, demonstrates the extent of early America's acceptance of same-sex intimacy, charting the nation's descent into homophobia by examining Mormonism as a case study of middle America. The author combines wide-ranging explorations of cross-cultural comparisons, American social history, and twenty years of Mormon archival research in his book, which characterizes Mormon culture as a mirror of America's "homocultural orientation" during the nineteenth century. Mormons, Quinn states, were the nation's most prodigious record-keepers and pious church-goers, yet they endorsed physical and emotional intimacy between persons of the same sex and were remarkably tolerant of homoeroticism until the mid-1950s.
