We finally have a great classic Marxist critique on sexuality committed to LGBTIQ emancipation struggles.

The victories of LGBT movements, especially the spread of same-sex marriage, have accelerated in recent years more than most people thought possible. However, the subsequent emergence of a kind of "gay normality" has been disconcerting for activists with more radical approaches. A whole neoliberal gay, "homonormative," and "homonationalist" imaginary and market has developed, excluding those who fall outside the new norm, whether intersex, transgender, queer, non-binary, racialized people, and others.

The history of LGBT lives and struggles does not begin at the 1969 Stonewall in New York. That is why Drucker offers a historical and geographical overview (not focused solely on the Western world) of the different paradigms that have been hegemonic in each context and phase of capitalist development regarding sexual and affective relationships between people of the same sex and gender dissidences. In a fascinating convergence of economic, sociological, psychological, and sexological studies, and from an intersectional perspective (feminist, anti-racist, class, and queer), our author applies concepts and methodology from the best heterodox Marxism to understand the old and new challenges faced by people and movements that challenge sexual and gender norms. Neither the cultural question nor the sometimes conflictive and confusing relationship with environmentalism is left out, finally addressing the final proposal: a politics of inclusion, based on Marxist theory and scientific contributions, that unites environmentalism, animal rights, and leftist politics in a common project.
