Description
In 1993, a Christian right initiative in Cincinnati, Ohio passed an amendment that removed legal protection against discrimination for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals and prohibited their recognition as a group. This was in response to the inclusion of sexual orientation in the city's Human Rights Ordinance the year before. Kimberly Dugan's research on the conflict between the gay, lesbian, and bisexual movement and the Christian right over this issue highlights the cultural factors that influenced their mobilization, strategies, and ultimate success.
In November 1993 voters in Cincinnati, Ohio passed Issue 3, an amendment to the City Charter eliminating gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons' legal protection against discrimination and prohibiting their recognition as a group or class. This Christian right initiative emerged largely in response to the inclusion of sexual orientation in the city's newly enacted Human Rights Ordinance just one year earlier. Using qualitative data, Kimberly Dugan captures the dynamics and interdependence of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual movement and the Christian right as they engaged in conflict over Issue 3 by focusing on cultural factors relevant to movement mobilization, strategies, and success.
