Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric roils Wisconsin, and provides political fuel for the right

Finn Enke, a professor studying the history of gender and sexuality in the 19th and 20th centuries  at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says historically, anti-LGBTQ movements rise and fall with electoral cycles. “It’s organized by people who are funding specific politicians and a specific political agenda,” Enke says. “It really is about political power and not about gender and not about sexuality.”
