254: Gay Pride & Prejudice

from Philosophy Talk Starters Hosted by Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/gay-pride-prejudice. The question of gay rights has become a hot button issue, with opposition taking on the air of a moral panic and support taking on the air of a righteous crusade. John and Ken attempt to dispassionately examine the competing scientific, religious, and philosophical visions of the nature of gayness. They explore the consequences of those competing arguments for and against gay rights with cultural and psychological anthropologist Gilbert Herdt, author of "Moral Panics, Sex Panics: Fear and the Fight over Sexual Rights."
