    America's Forgotten War on Gay People | Jonathan Rauch

    I am joined by journalist, author, and gay marriage activist Jonathan Rauch to discuss his recent article in The Atlantic, which is an investigation into America’s long assault on the humanity of gay people. For the majority of the 20th century, the United States waged a war of psychic terror against its gay population. This history is largely forgotten, even by LGBT people. Read Jonathan Rauch’s article. Do you agree with us? Disagree? I love hearing back from my audience. Share your thoughts on this conversation in the comments section.
