Baby Steps Or One Fell Swoop?: The Incremental Extension Of Rights Is Not A Defensible Strategy, James M. Donovan
Baby Steps Or One Fell Swoop?: The Incremental Extension Of Rights Is Not A Defensible Strategy, James M. Donovan
James M. Donovan
The problem of incrementalism emerges from the common practice of limiting certain rights only to groups on certified lists.

The majority recognized that a single avowal of homosexuality imbues the openly gay individual with a uniquely expressive character. Wherever he goes, …
