Call Number: JG/ 105Format: CassetteProgram: National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy InstituteCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
This is a recording is of a workshop and moderated discussion about the intersections of class, race, and gender in LGBT movements. The workshop is held at a 1993 conference sponsored by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute. Several critiques on the direction that the mainstream LGBT movement is going in are made, including: The movement catering to the image of the affluent white gay male, problematic assumptions about and comparisons to the Civil Rights movement, the closet as a classist construction, and the lack of dialogue on the impact of economic policy. Other issues addressed are: gays in the military, strategies on dealing with the Right, and the spectacle of queerness in the media.
