Sexuality and Socialism: History, Politics, and Theory of LGBT Liberation
- Bagikan:
There is a contradiction that pervades the politics and culture
of U.S. society regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) people. On the one hand, top-rated TV shows and
Academy Award–winning movies, such as Will and Grace, the
L Word, and Milk, portray gays and lesbians in a favorable
light. On the other, federal and most state legislation denies
equal marriage, workplace, and civil rights protections for
sexual minorities. Rates of violence against LGBT people remain
alarmingly high, including incidents of murder.1 Current
opinion polls, however, show a marked increase in social
acceptance of a wide range of sexual and gender-variant behaviors.
2 This contradiction is a product of both the emergence
in modern capitalism of greater sexual freedom to form
sexual identities outside the traditional family and capitalism’s
continued need to reinforce gender norms that bolster the
“nuclear” family
