Today on Your Call: How has the focus on marriage affected the LGBT movement?

 

Just 44 years after the Stonewall riots, gays and lesbians can now get married in 13 states. Millions of dollars and endless resources have been poured into the campaign for same-sex marriage. How has this fight changed LGBTQ politics? As events like SF Pride accept military recruiters and corporate sponsors, are they changing in fundamental ways? And as the LGBTQ community becomes more widely accepted, is the radical promise of gay politics being lost? Who's being left behind? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:

Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author and editor of multiple queer anti-assimilationist anthologies, including her new memoir The End of San Francisco

Earle Plante, CEO of San Francisco Pride
