How ‘Real America’ Became Queer America
From the New York Times:The Trump administration may be busy waging culture wars. But in the heartland, it’s never been a better time to be L.G.B.T.
"There are plenty of reasons for L.G.B.T. Americans to feel despondent right now. But hope is just down the road." :)
Hello Professor! Thank you for sharing this article! I definitely missed the "bigger — and better — picture" by just reading articles about the Trump administrations anti-LGBT policies earlier this week. It is encouraging to hear about all the local leaders fighting for LGBT rights across the nation and the positive LGBT developments overall.
