Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies examines the lives, experiences, and representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, studying in historical, contemporary, and theoretical contexts their communities, institutions, politics, languages, art, literature, and relationships to heterosexual norms.
