LGBT Rights Special: Padam Vice President
Are LGBT rights the most divisive issue in American politics? With Queer Eyeâs Bobby Berk.
Rainbow flags symbolising LGBT freedoms are being flown in many parts of the world this Pride month, but in some parts of America they are being lowered due to state bans. Why have these kinds of issues become so political?
