It's one show with two sides this week, as we witness marriage equality victories in France and Rhode Island and hear the radical analysis of Martin Duberman: "Today [the Gay Liberation Front] and its agenda have long-since disappeared. It's been replaced by national LGBT organizations, of which … the Human Rights Campaign is the largest, that work toward assimilationist goals like gay marriage, and like the right of gay people to serve openly in the military. And it's precisely that assimilationist agenda … which for the past 20 years has pretty much swept the field in terms of the gay movement. … The place I think to start in attempting a rebuttal to that position is to say just flat out, 'It's not true. Gay people are *not* straight people!'"
Which side are you on?
