Edward Sagarin – Prosopography

Edward Sagarin was an influential Professor of Sociology and Criminology at the City University of New York, and a member of the American Sociological Association. Beginning in the 1950s under the pseudonym Donald Webster Cory, Sagarin was a driving force in the USA’s homophile movement, publishing sympathetic and knowledgeable works such as The Homosexual in America: A Subjective Approach (1951) which presented homosexuals as a veritable minority. Though initially supportive and involved in the pro-gay movement, he moved towards conservatism in the 1960s and in 1965 broke with the Mattachine Society. After this point he began to write anti-gay articles, labelling homosexuality as a “disturbance,” and compared it to alcoholism.
