In my latest episode of The Randy Report podcast, I chat with Abigail Saguy – Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at UCLA – who’s written a fascinating new book, Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are.
The new book details the evolution and history of how and why LGBTQ people “come out.”
Saguy’s new book offers background and details from the earliest of gay movements and chronicles how we got from there to here.
Over time, though, other marginalized groups – like fat acceptance activists, the #MeToo movement, undocumented immigrants – have adopted a similar dynamic of “coming out” in their efforts to resist stigma and bring about social change.
Saguy and her collaborators offer an engaging exploration into how being ‘different’ has led to a universal movement for visibility and acceptance.
Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are is available at most online booksellers. You can check it out on Amazon here.
