The Politics of Perverts The Political Attitudes and Actions of Non-Traditional Sexual Minorities

"The Politics of Perverts explores sexual minorities that continue to be marginalized, even as American attitudes and public policies around lesbian, gay and transgender individuals have fundamentally shifted over the last two decades. It brings much-needed scientific research to the political dimensions of those defined by society as "perverts." A thoughtful, careful and respectful analysis of this topic that significantly expands the understanding of both politics and sexuality." (Scott Barclay, author of Queer Mobilizations: LGBT Activists Confront the Law) "The Politics of Perverts is a brave book. The authors have waded into a set of questions-about an unusual population-whose very existence is under-acknowledged and threatening to many. This book and the research on which it is based will infuriate some and inform most. I highly recommend it." (Gary Segura, author of The Future is Ours: Minority Politics, Political Behavior, and the Multiracial Era of American Politics)
