Over the course of the
past few decades the LGBTQ community in the US has made great strides towards
equality despite the best attempts of conservative activist and politicians, but
how can we truly measure this progress and learn from it to inform the fights
of the future? In their new book LGBTQ Stats: LGBTQ People By The Numbers
David Deschamps and Bennet Singer
chronicle and analyze the ongoing LGBTQ revolution by providing the critical
statistics and data to measure this progress.
The book is and invaluable resource for activists, journalists,
lawmakers, and the general population who want the facts and figures on LGBTQ
lives in the twenty-first century and Bennet joins me on the show today to talk
all about the book.
This
sure has been another crazy week in politics what with senate Democrats
filibustering Judge Gorsuch and President Trump launching airstrikes in
Syria. Joining me today to help us wrap
up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift the Washington correspondent for TheDaily Beast, where she covers the White House and writes about politics and
culture.
