Andrew Sullivan gives lecture on ‘The Politics of Homosexuality’
Equalitopia Recommendation!
Andrew Sullivan, prominent author, journalist, blogger for The Atlantic and former editor of The New Republic, delivered a speech in McCosh 50, last month, on the “The Politics of Homosexuality”.
In analyzing attitudes toward homosexuality Sullivan separates schools of thought into four categories: the conservative politics of sexuality, radical politics of sexuality, moderate politics of sexuality and the liberal politics of sexuality.
His speech was a systematic debunking of a set of anti-homosexual arguments, but it wasn’t devoid of emotion. He ended his address with misty eyes as he expressed his desire for a world where homosexual individuals are foremost “human beings”, and sexual orientation is merely a secondary, and immaterial, classification.
