The June 26, 2015 Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 States shifts the terms of the debate about where the gay rights movement should be putting organizing energy and money. 
In this radio documentary, "Beyond Gay Marriage"  Lisa Dettmer looks beyond the issue of gay marriage and examines how homophobia intersects with racism and classism and suggest new directions for gay rights rooted in the history of queer liberation politics.

This documentary provides a critical look at the Gay Marriage movement and asks :
Why is gay marriage the primary issue of the Gay Community? 
Is Same Sex marriage really the issue most LGBT people are interested in? 
And What effect does the funding and emphasis on Same Sex Marriage have on displacing other crucial life and death LGBT issues? 
This documentary presents the voices of LGBT scholars and activists seldom heard in the media who provide a cutting edge  critique of the "Gay Marriage" movement and the mainstreaming of gay politics and looks at what progressive Queers are working on instead.
