Episode 126: Pride and Politics: The Complex Relationship between the LGBTIQ+ Community and Politics

The LGBTQ+ communities in Germany and the United States have been working toward greater legal rights, but laws and politicians in both countries have threatened to not only halt progress but take away already existing protections. Two participants from the AGI project “Building LGBTQ+ Communities in Germany and the United States” join The Zeitgeist to discuss the current status of LGBTQ+ rights in each country, the relationship between the LGBTQ+ activists and politics, and the role of LGBTQ+ politicians.
