Original typewritten sociology paper titled “The Homosexual,” dating from 1971.

The paper examines homosexuality through the academic and sociological framework of the period and appears to include material based on interviews with two gay men. Included are the original paper, bibliography, a separate written evaluation dated August 3, 1971, and an instructor’s typed grading comment.

This is an unusual surviving piece of early-1970s LGBTQ and social-history documentation. The language and conclusions reflect the terminology, assumptions, and attitudes commonly found in academic discussions of homosexuality at that time. Some wording is outdated and may be offensive by modern standards, but it is retained as part of the original historical document.
