Akiko Carver 1993 Speech, Queer Movement Radicalism
Adam Curry plays a 1993 C-SPAN clip of activist Akiko Carver speaking at the Gay and Lesbian March on Washington. Carver's speech is highlighted for its radical rhetoric, which accused the mainstream gay movement of being racist and pro-capitalist. The hosts use this to show that "intersectionality" and identity politics have been present in activist circles for decades.
