In this recording of Boston's Other Voice, which aired on January 22, 1989, host Peter Stickel talks with Gary Dotterman about civil disobedience. According to Dotterman, being openly LGBTQ is an act of civil disobedience in that homosexuality is not accepted by mainstream society and is against many laws. Dotterman explains that the government does not give people rights, the people have to demand rights. He encourages people to demonstrate where their political leaders can see them, and where they can be heard. Dotterman also gives guidelines on how to effectively demonstrate and commit acts of civil disobedience.
