Now, twenty-five years after its first publication, this groundbreaking classic is back in a crucial and updated third edition. With new and extended chapters, D'Emilio and Freedman give us an even deeper understanding of how sexuality has dramatically influenced politics and culture throughout our history and into the present. Hailed by critics for its comprehensive approach and noted by the US Supreme Court in the landmark \u003ci\u003eLawrence v.

Freedman, \u003ci\u003eIntimate Matters\u003c\/i\u003e, was cited by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy when, writing for a majority of court on July 26, he and his colleagues struck down a Texas law criminalizing sodomy. The decision was widely hailed as a victory for gay rights-and it derived in part, according to Kennedy's written comments, from the information he gleaned from this book.\"-Julia Keller, \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Fascinating. . . .
