First edition cover

The Encyclopedia of Homosexuality is an encyclopedic book about homosexuality edited by Wayne R. Dynes. It was published by Garland Publishing in New York, US.[1] The encyclopedia contains 770 articles. [2]

It is written by many different experts and most of the articles are signed.[2]

In 1995 the Encyclopedia was withdrawn by Garland, following accusations in the Chronicle of Higher Education that the editor Dynes had published articles under the pseudonym Evelyn Gettone.[3] Dynes admitted that he had done so and apologized.[4] Dynes subsequently said that this was due to “a pressure group of leftist and feminist activists who viewed the Encyclopedia as lacking in political correctness“.[5]

It was reviewed positively by Reference & User Services Quarterly[6].

It was listed on several “Best Books of the Year” lists.[7]
