Gay Rights on the Ballot Bibliography

Cross-posted at DailyKos.

On the “Day Without a Gay”, I took the day off from work where I decided to use my time and skills where I was strongest.  As a librarian I have a knack of finding sources and providing them to the researcher potential of sources.  

So on that day, I headed to a major research library (I work at a community college library that would be limited in resources on what I needed to do), where I would have access to electronic resources, with print sources nearby, if needed.

Already by reading one book and one article, I learned about past Mormon Church activism that defeated the Equal Rights Amendment, but also learned how an anti-gay amendment was defeated in Idaho because the No campaign successfully appealed to Mormons in that state: http://www.dailykos.com/story/…

The idea here is if people do their research, they can make golden discoveries.  I believe if activists and a campaign are more information literate, they will be smarter in their outreach, strategies, let alone help the general public become more information literate as well, on the issue of LGBT rights and Marriage Equality.

Campaigning Against Anti-Gay Ballot Initiatives Bibliography

Includes scholarly articles on key population studies, articles on the framing of same sex marriage, impact of anti-gay campaigns, particularly from the 90s to the Present, and other related articles.  There’s also a few articles on closely related, but has the potential of having key insight and are likely worth reading.  This is a ROUGH DRAFT, meaning a future version may be split into sections, let alone other useful journal article citations will likely be added (especially as more articles come out on the Proposition 8 campaign, its impact afterwards, and this year’s earlier California Supreme Court ruling, for example).
