Peter Tatchell is Britain's most recognisable gay rights activist. He traces five decades of culture wars: from a teenage firebrand in 1960s Australia, inspired by the Black civil rights movement, via Communist East Berlin, to today — and \"why things are not over by a long shot.\"
We talk about how LGBT+ rights, and especially trans rights, got turned into frontline ammunition in the modern culture wars. Who's really behind the anti-trans movement? Why Tatchell believes it's being steered from the right. And what the Supreme Court ruling actually says — as opposed to what you've been confidently told it says.
Along the way, Tatchell explains why he thinks the hate and disinformation machine has gone into overdrive — and why he believes we are heading into a \"very, very dark period\" for democracy.
