GRITtv: Omar Barghouti & Sarah Schulman: Equal Rights for All in Palestine
?People have rights, and when we say we want to end Israel's multitiered system of oppression...we must immediately, in the same sentence, say people have equal rights in every formal way," says Omar Barghouti, author of the new book Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights. And author, activist and professor Sarah Schulman has been involved with the Palestinian queer movement, emphasizing that their struggle is deeply tied to the struggle to end the occupation. Omar and Sarah join Laura in studio for a discussion of the interlocking oppressions being fought by the BDS movement.

Sarah Schulman notes that what she calls "familial homophobia" is a common experience that almost every gay person experiences. More importantly, she stresses that instead of dealing with this individually, we need to create community solutions together to deal with these problems. Schulman is the author of Ties That Bind: Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences (as well as Stagestruck: Theater, AIDS, and the Marketing of Gay America and Girls, Visions and Everything: A Novel), and she joins Laura in the studio to talk about homophobia in the family and more.
