Description

Chris Bull (au); John Gallagher (au). A political war is raging in the U.S. between two groups once considered radical, even marginal, by most Americans: the religious right & the gay movement. This book reveals why this conflict moved to the center of political debate & became a pivotal issue in elections at all levels. It traces the origins & growth of both groups from the seminal year of 1969, when the Stonewall Riots ushered in the modern gay rights movement & when Pat Robertson & Jerry Falwell embarked on direct political action to bring strict biblical interpretation to bear on public policy. The grassroots organizational efforts of both movements resulted in growing political clout.
