On October 11 2009, upwards of two hundred thousand LGBTQ activists and their allies converged on Washington, DC for the National Equality March, united around one demand: full equality in all matters governed by civil law in all fifty states.
Full federal equality and civil rights can only come from the federal government. Besides, state-level victories are easily undone and will come to more conservative states much too far in the future.
How will we win full LGBT civil rights nationwide? Grassroots LGBTQ activists and allies must be at the center of figuring that out. Politics, history, and theory are essential for answering such questions as where does lgbt oppression come from, what strategies and tactics are effective in making social change, and what role has the Democratic Party played in the lgbt movement?
Sexuality and Socialism is a remarkably accessible analysis of many of the most challenging questions for those concerned with full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
Inside are essays on the roots of LGBT oppression, the construction of sexual and gender identities, the history of the gay movement, and how to unite the oppressed and exploited to win sexual liberation for all. Sherry Wolf analyzes different theories about oppression—including those of Marxism, postmodernism, identity politics, and queer theory—and challenges myths about genes, gender, and sexuality.
