Today on Women’s Magazine on the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and as we approach the upcoming Pride parades and Marches we will listen to a previously presented documentary Beyond Gay Marriage: The Assimilation of the Radical Queer Movement, which looks at how the campaign for gay marriage was symptomatic of a move away from the radical politics of the Gay Liberation Movement.  And we will talk to Mary J from Gay Shame about their push to get cops out of the Dyke March.

Monday, June 8, 2015: Ireland--Feminist Rights and LGBT

Why is gay marriage winning and abortion rights losing? Today June 8th on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine we talk to feminists Katha Pollitt and Meghan Murphy about the recent vote in Ireland to legalize same sex marriage and we ask how is it that Ireland is now touted as in the vanguard of progressive politics after legalizing same sex marriage while abortion is still illegal in Ireland except when a women's life is in danger. Are the rights of LGBT people and feminists in conflict?
