Yet boycotts haven’t played as central a role in LGBTQ+ liberation as they did during the civil rights movement.
“We’re ultimately a fairly small group,” says Eli Erlick, activist and author of Before Gender: Lost Stories From Trans History, 1850–1950.
“Queer communities have used boycotts to amplify voices when mainstream media and politics ignored them,” says Jay Santana, an LGBTQ+ historian and activist.
In response, LGBTQ+ leaders organized a boycott of Florida oranges and orange juice.
Lindsey’s LGBTQ+ travel book, (Out) On the Road: How Queer Travel is Different and Why it Matters, is forthcoming from Ig Publishing.
