Eric sat down with Professor Phillip Ayoub, an award-winning scholar of Diplomacy and World Affairs and the author of WHEN STATES COME OUT: Europe’s Sexual Minorities and the Politics of Visibility. (Available on Amazon and via his Insta bio, at @phillipayoub!)`

We talked about his research into how LGBTQ+ activists, like those described in Celia Laskey's UNDER THE RAINBOW, can create change in other cities, states, and countries. He offers us a guidebook for international activism that is, in an increasingly interconnected world, more important than ever before.
