Our reigning national story is that a new era of rainbow acceptance is at hand. But dig a bit deeper, and this seemingly brave new gay world is disappointing. For all of the undeniable changes, author Walters argues, the plea for tolerance has sabotaged the full integration of gays into American life. Same-sex marriage is unrecognized and unpopular in the vast majority of states, hate crimes proliferate, and even in the much vaunted "gay friendly" world of Hollywood and celebrity culture, precious few stars are openly gay. She maintains that we are not "almost there," but on the contrary have settled for a watered-down goal of tolerance rather than a robust claim to full civil rights. After all, one "tolerates" unpleasant realities: medicine with strong side effects, a long commute, an annoying relative. Tolerance is not the end goal, but a dead end;.--From publisher description. 000718140 650_0 $$aGay rights. 000718140 650_0 $$aToleration. 000718140 650_0 $$aEquality. 000718140 830_0 $$aIntersections (New York, N.Y.) 000718140 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ76.5$$i.W35$$i2014 000718140 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718140$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718140 980__ $$aBIB 000718140 980__ $$aBOOK
