Overview

Marriage equality has surged across the country. Closet doors have burst open in business, entertainment, and even major-league sports. But as longtime advocate Michelangelo Signorile argues in his most provocative book yet, the excitement of such breathless change makes this moment more dangerous than ever. Puncturing the illusion that victory is now inevitable, Signorile marshals stinging evidence that an age-old hatred, homophobia, is still a basic fact of American life. He exposes the bigotry of the brewing religious conservative backlash against LGBT rights and challenges the complacency and hypocrisy of supposed allies in Washington, the media, and Hollywood. Not just a wake-up call, It's Not Over is a battle plan for the fights to come in the march toward equality. Signorile tells the stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans who have refused to be merely tolerated and are demanding full acceptance. And he documents signs of hope in schools and communities that are finding new ways to combat ignorance, bullying, and fear. Urgent and empowering, It's Not Over is a necessary book from one of our most electrifying voices.

"A cautionary, timely gay rights manifesto with teeth.-- ""Kirkus"" ""Enlightening and compelling, It's Not Over is a trenchant book founded on solid evidence that reveals the truth about the current struggle for LGBT equality. Through rich detail and powerful stories, Signorile shows why we can't let our intensity falter, and he offers an incisive, exhilarating blueprint for the future."" -- ""Martina Navratilova"" ""For twenty-five years, Michelangelo Signorile has been one of America's most incisive critics and influential activists in the movement for gay equality, and It's Not Over demonstrates he is better than ever.

Read this book, please, and use it."" -- ""Kate Bornstein, author of A Queer and Pleasant Danger"" ""Unflinching, uncompromising, It's Not Over is a call to arms.

This landmark work by an irreplaceable writer vividly illustrates why."" -- ""Jos� Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist"""
