All the other times I can think of that people won rights in this country, it was because people radicalized their churches or unions and then linked them up into a movement.
But when I try to look up how gay marriage happened, I’m finding things crediting liberal organizations or important lawyers, if it’s not just passive voice implying the states just started legalizing gay marriage for no particular reason.
So like… what was the actual organizing principle behind that? Who did the pressuring? I figured a bunch of you would know, so I’m asking.
they may have done it because a liberal queer liberation movement (of any focus) is no threat to the donor class, since it doesnt attempt any form of economic liberation.
so they might as well enact it, score some good boy points and throw a bone to their gay friends.
