Martin Luther King Jr., Homosexuality, and the Early Gay Rights Movement: Keeping the Dream Straight? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781137275516)

Martin Luther King Jr. was neither an advocate for nor an enemy of gay rights, but this has not stopped both sides of the debate from using his words in their arguments. His widow, Coretta Scot King, cited them in her campaign for gay rights, while his daughter Bernice appealed to them in her public rejection of same-sex marriage. This fascinating situation-a familial and wider conflict over the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. in relation to gay rights-poses the problem that Michael G. Long addresses in this groundbreaking volume.
