In Value War: Public Opinion and the Politics of Gay Rights, Paul
R. Brewer looks at how the public debate about gay rights has
shaped public opinion and conversely how public opinion has shaped
the public debate about gay rights. Using a variety of methods,
including polls, experimentation, and content analysis, he shows
how the nature of public debate_which encompasses news stories,
television sitcoms, presidential speeches, and sermons by local
clergy_has influenced what and how Americans think about gay
rights. He also shows how public opinion has created opportunities
and obstacles for foes and advocates of gay rights by defining the
very terms and boundaries of the public debate. Brewer's analysis
not only sheds new light on how the politics of gay rights has
evolved in recent years and may evolve in the future, it also
illuminates the broader tensions in American politics, from the
culture war over social issues to the struggle over civil rights.
