While legal recognition of marriage has met the needs of a segment
of the LGBTQ population, many still face daily struggles with
issues around housing, education, healthcare, policing and
incarceration, and immigration. These are issues that were largely
eclipsed in national arenas by the fight for marriage equality. In
reaction to this, The Unfinished Queer Agenda After Marriage
Equality examines the institutional failings and overlapping
systems of injustice that continue to dehumanize queer and trans
people and deprive them of basic human rights. Building on a major
conference held in 2016 entitled "After Marriage: The Future of
LGBTQ Politics and Scholarship", the editors have collected
academic papers, edited transcripts of selected conference
sessions, and interviews with activists. Drawing from this source
material, the book argues that any queer agenda should be informed
by an understanding that the issues facing queer and trans people
come from the combined influence of neo-liberal capitalism, global
white supremacy, and heterosexism. The authors argue that these
modes of oppression continue to be especially damaging for poor
people, undocumented people, people of color, non-binary, trans,
and queer people. By taking an in-depth look at the myriad social
issues that continue to affect LGBTQ communities, and by exposing
systemic prejudices and inequality as the root cause, this title is
an important intervention for students and researchers engaged with
queer and trans activism, beyond the fight for marriage equality.
