A startling and joyful work of scholarship, a book about revolutionary people that feels revolutionary itself. * Jacobin * Nothing less than revelatory. . . . As Lecklider shows, through a combination of meticulous archival research and astute, often surprising analysis, in the decades before Stonewall, homosexual and gender nonconforming men and women were fighting for liberation through involvement with the Left. . . . They took part in radical labor organizing, joined the fight against Fascism in the Spanish Civil War, opposed racism, sexism, and state and police repression. They were intersectional avant la lettre. * PopMatters * Rather than treat political radicalism and dissident sexuality as discrete phenomena, Lecklider convincingly demonstrates how sexual deviance and anti-capitalist views coevolved alongside racial and immigrant justice and women's liberation in the context of the US's diversifying urban centers. . . . Students of sexuality, American radicalism, and urban history will learn much from Love's Next Meeting. * CHOICE *
