This article examines a little studied aspect of southern politics: the emergence of gay rights activists as players in mainstream southern politics. The article examines state-by-state electoral successes of openly-gay candidates throughout the South as well as the impact of gays rights activists on public policy (at both the local & state level), hate crimes legislation, employment rights, higher education, & private business. The movement of homosexuals from the shadows of society to open participation in public life has been a major national trend during the past three decades, & the South has not been in the forefront of this development. However, significant evidence suggests that, as Dixie has accommodated to other social changes, it is adapting to gay liberation -- albeit more slowly than the rest of the nation. 4 Appendixes, 65 References.

In a free society such as Australia, the right to peaceful protest is a long-practised feature of our democracy. The nightly news frequently broadcasts images of activists rallying for social change on diverse issues ranging from animal rights to coal mines, gay marriage, religious freedom and antiimmigration views. Social change movements are increasingly championed online through social media and e-petitions as well as on the streets, placing pressure on political leaders and raising the public profile of a range of causes. Anti-protest laws, expanded police powers, well-resourced activism campaigns during elections, chaotic vegan protests and mass climate change action by school students, have all directed a spotlight on the principles of protest and the role of activist groups in organising resistance and raising awareness of controversial causes. This title examines protest movements, rights and protections, and explores how activism can influence public opinion and hold governments and business to account. Is the current climate of protest in Australia growing hotter for social change, reflecting the civil unrest seen in many other parts of the world? Is there a rising tide of activism that is shifting power to the people? --

Examines the impact of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) community activism on Canadian AIDS policy, drawing on various print materials, but more substantially on interviews (N not specified) with activists & policymakers (mostly conducted 1990/1991) in Montreal (Quebec), Toronto (Ontario), Vancouver (British Columbia), & Ottawa (Ontario). It is argued that health policy is normally resistant to influence from groups outside of medically expert circles, & that the marginalization of the gay population most affected by AIDS created impediments to shifting public health authorities from their traditional top-down approach to the management of disease. The circumstances of this epidemic, though, & the characteristics of the gay male population most at risk, created unusual openings through which activists could influence public policy at all three levels of government. There are indications that officials are seeking to regain some of the initiative & some of the capacity to define the issues lost 1985-1990, but AIDS activism has dislodged state policy from a number of its traditional moorings.
