Page ix Acknowledgments I was able to undertake the field research for this project because of grants provided by the Centre for Research in Women and Gender Relations, University of British Columbia; Keele University; and the Nuffield Foundation. Thanks also to the Faculty of Law and the Centre for Research in Women and Gender Relations, University of British Columbia, for their hospitality while I was a visiting scholar there in 1994. I am also grateful to my own Department of Law at Keele University for their support, and to the Keele library for a fabulous interlibrary-loan service. I would also like to thank the following people who gave their time for interviews and, in many cases, provided me with useful resources: Robert Knight, Lon Mabon, Tony Marco, Tom Minnery, Loretta Neet, Will Perkins, Kevin Tebedo, and Jim Woodall. They may not be pleased with this book, but I hope they feel I have used their words fairly.

Page x Several individuals and organizations made my life easier by providing a variety of resources. Thanks to Kitty Cooper, Charles Cooper, Martin Durham, Emma Henderson, Usa Herman, Nina Klowden Herman, Marlee Kline, Bill Lunch, Julie Nice, and Angie Wilson. And to Lesbian/Gay Law Notes, People for the American Way, Political Research Associates, the Institute for First Amendment Studies, and cc.watch (Internet). Special thanks to Amy Devine and the Citizen's Project in Colorado Springs for all their help, and to Kathryn Stinson for research assistance. Friends and colleagues have read bits and pieces of this book while it was an ongoing project. Thanks for criticisms and encouragements to Jim Beckford, Larry Cata Backer, Joel Bakan, Paisley Currah, Ruthann Robson, and Kenneth Wald. Special appreciation to Carl Stychin, who resolutely read far more of this than was his duty, and helped, more than a little, to keep me sane while I was writing it. Many thanks are also due to Doug Mitchell and Matt Howard at the University of Chicago Press, for their encouragement and attention, and to Joann Hoy for copy-editing, and also to Anita Samen at the Press.
