Since then, the GLBT community has faced more than 150 referendums and initiatives across the country. From Anita Bryant to Oregon's Ballot Measure 9 to California's Proposition 8, everything from local nondiscrimination laws to same-sex marriage rights have been put before the voters, largely by the religious right. In this talk, Amy L. Stone, author of the new book Gay Rights at the Ballot Box (University of Minnesota Press) and an assistant professor at Trinity University in San Antonio, will provide a historical account of the ways the GLBT movement has fought back, organized and grown in response to these ballot measures.
