Author Linda Hirshman on “Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution”

The Takeaway

Gay rights have come a long way in America. From the Stonewall uprising in 60s Greenwich Village – where gay patrons refused to leave a bar raided by police – to Obama’s historic  declaration supporting same sex  marriage  last month, gay causes have moved from the underground to the front page. What was once considered something to hide is now a source of pride for many  Americans.
Attorney, pundit and author Linda Hirshman discusses this and more in her new book “Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution.” The gay rights movement, she says, is the most  successful  social  movement  of the last four decades.
