The Politics of Gay Reparations

This chapter cites books and articles that have appeared in recent years chronicling gay rights advances in the United States, including Linda Hirshman’s Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution and its declaration that America has become a “post-gay country.” It also points out how America’s gay rights revolution seems unfinished or incomplete in the absence of a national reckoning with the country’s history of systemic anti-gay discrimination. This chapter explains how gay reparations serve to enhance citizenship by acting as an antidote to the toxic legacy that the history of anti-gay discrimination has left in its wake. It reviews laws that allow discrimination rooted from religious beliefs held against LGBT people.
