description:  When rights go wrong.Does gay marriage support the right-wing goal of linking access to basic human rights like health care and economic security to an inherently conservative tradition?Will the ability of queers to fight in wars of imperialism help liberate and empower LGBT people around the world?Does hate-crime legislation affirm and strengthen historically anti-queer institutions like the police and prisons rather than dismantling them?The Against Equality collective asks some hard questions. These queer thinkers writers and artists are committed to undermining a stunted conception of equality. In this powerful book they challenge mainstream gay and lesbian struggles for inclusion in elitist and inhumane institutions. More than a critique Against Equality seeks to reinvigorate the queer political imagination with fantastic possibility!
