In June 2022, I reported here that the Library of Congress had just awarded the Kluge Humanities Prize to George Chauncey, making him the first scholar in LGBTQ+ studies to be so honored. (Chauncey is probably best known for his groundbreaking 1994 study, Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940.) The award, which is conferred every two years and comes with a $500,000 prize, is intended to recognize scholarship that resonates both inside and outside academia. In fulfillment of that honor, Chauncey created a three-part video series titled "Through History to Equality." All three installments are now available online: "From Sexual Regulation to Antigay Discrimination," "Why Marriage Equality Became a Goal," and "AIDS: A Tragedy and a Turning Point."
