The Future is Queer: A Guide to Saving Democracy with Robin Maril
The Future is Queer is about the good, the bad, and the obviously queer in American law and politics. It is not an easy moment to be LGBTQ in America. From state legislatures to school boards LGBTQ people are facing the biggest threat to our survival in a generation. Queer and trans people have fought for our right to live and love openly for decades. But today even more is at risk. Our queer future depends on our democratic future. Law Professor and activist Robin Maril sits down with the LGBTQ voices leading the resistance to talk about democracy, what's at stake, and how we save it all.
