The Emergence of LGBT Activism in Eastern Europe

A lecture by Conor O’Dwyer. O’Dwyer analyzes the development and impact of LGBT movements in post-communist Eastern and Central Europe. He argues that backlash against LGBT individuals has had the paradoxical effect of encouraging stronger and more organized activism, significantly impacting the social movement landscape of the region.
