This work explores the economic lives of gays and lesbians in the
United States. It debunks common stereotypical ideas about gay
privilege, income and consumer behaviour. By studying the ends and
means of gay life from an economic perspective, the author
disproves the assumption that gay men and lesbians are more
affluent than heterosexuals, that they inspire discrimination when
coming out of the closet, that they consume more conspicuously, and
that they lead a more hedonistic lifestyle. Badgett analyzes
crucial issues that affect the livelihood of gay men and lesbians:
discrimination in the workplace, denial of healthcare benefits to
domestic partners and children, lack of access to legal
institutions, such as marriage, the corporate wooing of gay
consumer dollars and the use of gay economic clout to inspire
social and political change.
