   Following the Stonewall Riots in New York City in June 1969, the   
   left had to reassess negative appraisals of homosexuality that   
   prevailed among virtually all leftist currents. Pressure for   
   change came from within and from without. By the mid-1970s,   
   three approaches had emerged: (1) radical support for sexual   
   liberation and acceptance of same-sex love as being on a par   
   with heterosexuality; (2) liberal support for the civil rights   
   of homosexuals but without challenging heterosupremacy; and (3)   
   continued adherence to the (Stalinist) view that homosexuality   
   is a form of "bourgeois decadence" alien to the working class.   
   This essay assesses the ways in which the left adapted to the   
   new challenges that confronted it, with particular focus on   
   attitudes toward the nature of homosexuality and its relation to   
   the broader goals of the left.
