Ep 21 Queer Respectability Politics

03/27/23 • 11 min

What are queer or LGBT respectability politics? In this episode, I go over the concept of respectability politics with examples in other communities. Then, I offer some insights on the deeper meaning behind why the LGBT community polices its own behavior.
Apologies for some sound issues in this episode. I'm not sure what adjustments I need to make to remove the echo!
