Jonathan Katz, Gay American History: Lesbians and Gay Men in the U.S.A. New York: Crowel, 1976, 690 str. Ukljucuje bibliografije i indeks.

"Dokumenti naše gej istorije, istorije lezbejki i gej muškaraca u Americi, uključujući heteroseksualne stavove i činove, po prvi put su skupljeni u ovoj antologiji" - iznosi u predgovoru J. Katz. Ova knjiga daje na uvid stotine pisama, dnevnika, intervjua i pravnih dokumenata koji su prehodno bili sahranjeni u bibliotekama i arhivama. U studiji se prati period od 400 godina gej veza, na pozornici sukoba između homoseksualaca i američkog društva kao i borbe pokreta homoseksualaca za emancipaciju.

Prvi deo: Neprilika: 1566-1966 (Trouble: 1566-1966) rekonstruiše represiju i progone koje su propatili gej ljudi, počev od samog nastanka američke istorije, ilustrovano primerom pogubljenja francuskog prevodioca od strane Španaca na Floridi i pogubljenjima u koloniji Virginia i Novoj Engleskoj. Neprestani lanac maltretiranja vodi sve do '50-tih i '60-tih godina kada ona dobijaju moderne forme lova na veštice i kada se homoseksualci još uvek izvode pred sudove zbog "neprirodne telesne kopulacije".

Drugi deo: Tretman: 1884-1974 (Treatment: 1884-1974) daje pregled najrazličitijih pokušaja u medicini i psihologiji da se izleči ili ublaži homoseksualnost, uključujuči anafrodizijske postupke, apstinenciju, kastraciju, hipnozu, psihoanalizu, hormonsku medikaciju, elektro-šokove, averzivnu terapiju i lobotomiju. (Postupci i metodi pokušaja lečenja dati su hronološki i ovaj vrlo pregledni odeljak bi mogao zgodno da posluži kao model za slično istraživanje na domaćem terenu (v. dole sadržaj). Neke odlomke iz knjige smo prevodili na Gay-Serbia pod nazivom: Scene iz istorije lečenja homoseksualnosti:

Treći deo. Mada je lezbejskom iskustvu posvećen širok prostor unutar čitave knjige, treći deo: Passing Women (1782-1920) se fokusira na slučajeve konkretnih žena u istoriji i ženskoj strani homoseksualnosti o kojoj se nepravedno misli u stereotipima.

Četvrti deo: Indijanci/ gej amerikanci: 1528-1976 (Native Americans/Gay Americans: 1528-1976) baca svetlost na malo poznatu homoseksualnost kod indijanaca. Mada su se stavovi među Indijanacima o homoseksualcima razlikovali, homoseksualnost je bila često institunalizovana i poštovana. Zanimljiva je reakcija "civilizovanih" belaca na raširenu pojavu "sodomije" kod "primitivnih urođenika" i još više iznenađenje i bes zbog tolerisanja homoseksualnosti (up. dole nazive dokumenata).

Peti deo: Otpor: 1859-1972 (Resistance: 1859-1972) daje uvid u istorijske dokumente duge ali slabo poznate tradicije gej otpora manifestovane u raznim oblicima: pisma, poeme, eseji, traktati, romani i grupe za političku akciju.

Šesti deo: Ljubav: 1779-1932 (Love: 1779-1932). Poslednji odeljak deo dokumentuje slučajeve homoseksualnih privlačenja i veza evidentiranih u pismima, novinama i romanima. Knjiga sadrži iscrpnu bibliografiju i beleške.
