10-25-2019 PODCAST

I found this podcast very interesting. The part that I found most interesting was the underlying argument about how changes in the attitudes of homosexuals has led to a change in attitudes for some of those who used to think that same sex relations were always wrong. Wolfson says in the podcast that AIDS “prompted gay people to understand our vulnerability in being excluded from institutions in law, such as marriage. It changed our movement from being a movement about wanting to be basically let alone – don’t harass us, don’t attack us, don’t persecute us – into a movement about being let in – we want to be part of, we want to participate, we want to share.” This leads me to think that this adjustment of the mentality of members of the lgbtq community led to a notable change in the perception of heterosexual adults.
