Abstract: | This paper applies a social movement organization framing analysis to conflicts between gay-rights and Christian Right groups
over issues of lesbian, gay, and bisexual inclusions in public education. As groups representing each side entered this new
arena of debate over gay rights, they applied strategies they had used in other arenas. Both sides have pursued inflexible,
polarizing strategies that target their constituencies and have relinquished the opportunity to offer new and creative understanding
of their positions and to reach a potential new audience. This shows how opposing frames can become mutually reinforcing constraints. |
