The end of the gay rights revolution?
The LGBTQI rights movement in the West has succeeded beyond its wildest dreams, but gay author Ronan McRea argues this success seems suddenly fragile. He says forces favourable to gay rights, such as the wider cultural shift towards greater sexual freedom, are weakening while political developments, cultural changes, and migration patterns mean that sources of opposition are gaining strength. Guest: Ronan McCrea, professor of Constitutional and European law at University College London and author of “The end of the gay rights revolution: how hubris and overreach threaten gay freedom,” published by Polity Producer: Catherine Zengerer
