First Wednesdays

Dare Not Speak: Autocrats and the Campaign to Silence LGBTQI+ Communities

Live Event
May 3: 7:00 pm

Michael Bosia, a leading scholar on global trans- and homophobia, argues that manufactured “LGBTQI+ peril” helps obscure growing social inequality and the policy failures of politicians who have turned their backs on democratic accountability. In this talk, Bosia focuses on laws and rhetoric that target LGBTQI+ youth, teachers, and allies as part of a global anti-democratic effort.
