Offering an interdisciplinary analysis of US public engagement on LGBT issues, Edwina Barvosa proposes that the rapid evolution in public support for LGBT civil rights has taken place through large-scale deliberative systems assembled by Americans themselves through existing social networks. This publicly driven democratization required three types of deliberative catalysts—each helping to circumvent anti-gay bias, including conscious and unconscious bias. Lessons drawn from the LGBT case further suggest that these three deliberative catalysts could foster transformative public deliberation on racial bias, especially bias that contributes to violence.
