Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride is the most comprehensive look at the role of these events ever undertaken.

Coolen and many Pride organizers in North America and Europe, where celebration has overtaken political action, strive to remind their communities that Pride is at it's heart a global fight for human rights.
