From Stonewall to the Present, Fifty Years of L.G.B.T.Q. Rights

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p><span>Masha Gessen co-hosts this episode of the New Yorker Radio Hour, guiding David Remnick through the fifty years of civil-rights gains for L.G.B.T.Q. people. From drag queens reading to children at the library to a popular gay Presidential candidate, we’ll look at how the movement for L.G.B.T.Q. rights has changed our culture and our laws. The actress and comedian Lea DeLaria takes us through five decades of queer history in five minutes. Gessen talks with a Stonewall historian named Martin Duberman about whether the movement has become too conservative, and, later, she visits with a gay asylum seeker who recently fled Russia’s state security agency.</span></p> <p><span>CORRECTION: An earlier version of this program misidentified the location of the 2016 Pulse night-club shooting.</span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
