520 An innovative, data-driven explanation of how public
opinion shifted on LGBTQ rights The Path to Gay Rights is
the first social science analysis of how and why the LGBTQ
movement achieved its most unexpected victory--
transforming gay people from a despised group of social
deviants into a minority worthy of rights and protections
in the eyes of most Americans. The book weaves together a
narrative of LGBTQ history with new findings from the
field of political psychology to provide an understanding
of how social movements affect mass attitudes in the
United States and globally. Using data going back to the
1970s, the book argues that the current understanding of
how social movements change mass opinion--through
sympathetic media coverage and endorsements from political
leaders--cannot provide an adequate explanation for the
phenomenal success of the LGBTQ movement at changing the
public's views. In The Path to Gay Rights, Jeremiah
Garretson argues that the LGBTQ community's response to
the AIDS crisis was a turning point for public support of
gay rights. ACT-UP and related AIDS organizations
strategically targeted political and media leaders,
normalizing news coverage of LGBTQ issues and AIDS and
signaled to LGBTQ people across the United States that
their lives were valued. The net result was an increase in
the number of LGBTQ people who came out and lived their
lives openly, and with increased contact with gay people,
public attitudes began to warm and change. Garretson goes
beyond the story of LGBTQ rights to develop an evidence-
based argument for how social movements can alter mass
opinion on any contentious topic.
