We Are Everywhere , uses primary souces to construct a record of the issues, struggles and challenges surrounding the politics of homosexuality. The documents found here explain the historical development of the various strands of contemporary lesbian and gay movements for rights and liberation. The editors, a lesbian and a gay man, ask important and troublesome questions throughout the book: can we speak of a 'lesbian and gay movement', or only of coalitions among different movements? Are lesbians and gays fighting for the same things, or do their agendas only coincide for political expedience? Who are their allies, and what are the dangers posed by 'the enemy'?
