LGBTQ Lobbying in the United States argues that the issues and tactics prioritized by the mainstream gay lobbying community fail to serve LGBTQ interests and are complicit in perpetuating heteronormative power dynamics and institutions that render queer and trans people vulnerable to structural oppression.

Produktbeschreibung
LGBTQ Lobbying in the United States argues that the issues and tactics prioritized by the mainstream gay lobbying community fail to serve LGBTQ interests and are complicit in perpetuating heteronormative power dynamics and institutions that render queer and trans people vulnerable to structural oppression.

The book posits that there are different LGBTQ lobbying communities-a dominant gay mainstream lobbying category, whose work advances heteronormative ideals, and a second category of LGBTQ lobbying that is intersectional and challenges hegemonic heterosexual institutions. Analysis in the book builds on existing public policy literature and is aided by the author's practitioner experience in lobbying for LGBTQ issues in Washington, D.C. over the past 20 years.

This book is suitable as a textbook for students and researchers in LGBTQ studies, U.S. politics, and gender studies. The book will also appeal to activists and professionals in political lobbying.

Rezensionen
"The analysis in 'Tolerable Inequality' is first-rate. Pepin-Neff has mastered all the skills of social science. I found the narrative compelling, well-organized and cogent. The analysis provides a needed perspective on the subject of inequality. This is important. Pepin-Neff does for the study of inequality what Michael Harrington did for poverty in his Other America years ago. In my opinion, this work is equal and additive to works by Schattshneider, Dahl, and Schneider. I enjoyed the author's development of the HELP concept and the incisive analysis of the dangers of incrementalism. The wonderful thing about this analysis is how it not only applies to the LBGTQ+ but to other marginalized communities. I would have no problem assigning this book to any course covering topics of poverty, inequality, democracy and or democratic participation."
