 Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender
Public Policy Issues : A Citizen's and Administrator's Guide to
the New Cultural Struggle by Wallace Swan
(Editor)
In response to the cultural war
declared upon gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people by
the radical right, this book gives you an inside look at the gay
community's perspectives on the four major issues of school
curricula, workplace protections, legitimization of same-sex
relationships, and protections against discrimination. As
Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender Public Policy Issues examines the
role of radical religious thought in American politics, it looks
at the development of conflicts on the national level over the
four main issues. It also looks at specific examples of the
conflicts, such as the "Rainbow Curriculum" battle in
New York City and the controversial school board elections in Des
Moines. You may think you are sensitive to the issues, but are you
helping to find solutions? Get this book and find out!
"A timely primer on the major public policy issues facing
communities on the eve of the 21st century. Provides a uniquely
homespun, Midwestern perspective on internationally important
issues, including the workplace movement, youth and educational
matters, marriage and domestic partnerships, and social justice
concerns. By combining research with practical field experience
and personal perspectives, this book will appeal to almost anyone
interested in advocacy within social systems."
-Gary Remafedi, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Pediatrics,
University of Minnesota
"Provides analysis and guidance for public administrators and
citizens to develop programs and policies to overcome hurtful
stereotypes and promote acceptance of G/L/B/T people in all areas
of contemporary life. Also gives insights on the experiences of
nonheterosexual people in our society and identifies policy issues
that should be supported by all citizens who value the principles
of American democracy."
- Mary M. Timney, PhD, Director, Master of Public Administration
Program, University of Cincinnati
