Product Description
This book explores the ways in which a social movement organization uses identity to achieve its political goals in conservative and liberal regions across the United States. Using a case study of a lesbian and gay organization renamed Straight and Gay Alliance (SAGA), Dr. Cortese explores the ways in which SAGA activists typically deploy a "straight" identity as a social movement tool in order to make political gains and assist with fundraising. This ground-breaking book is the first of its kind to offer an in-depth analysis on the strategic deployment of a straight identity by an lesbian and gay social movement organization.
