Has the gay rights movement gone too far? Michael talks with Ronan McCrea about why some gay men are walking away from TQ activism — and whether LGB and TQ advocacy still belong under the same political umbrella.
Ronan explains why persuasion, coalition-building, and support from straight people were central to the success of the gay rights movement — and why he believes parts of today’s LGBT movement have moved away from that strategy.
We also look at what’s happening in the UK, whether Britain offers lessons for the United States, what happens to activist movements after many of their original goals have been achieved, and a larger question: can gay men and lesbians take our hard-won freedoms for granted?
I’m Michael — a licensed therapist and coach for gay men. I break down the psychological and cultural patterns affecting gay men, so you can see the pattern and change it.
