In this lecture, historian Marc Stein examined the litigation that occurred in the 1970s after more than a dozen public colleges and universities in the United States denied official recognition to LGBT student groups. Stein, a specialist in the history of sexuality, social movements, and constitutional law, focused on the ways in which these educational institutions used state sodomy laws and the criminalization of sex to justify their ultimately unsuccessful attempts to suppress LGBT student organizing.
