A pair of researchers opined recently in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that queer ideology as it relates to nuclear issues isn’t about “pushing a social agenda,” but rather creating more “effective policy.”
According to the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation’s Louis Reitmann and Sneha Nair of the Stimson Center, “governments cannot afford to lose out on the human capital and innovation potential of queer people” when discussing the “high stakes” topic of nukes.
These allegedly come from LGBTQ folks’ “life experiences” such as empathy, perseverance and being able to “navigate being different.”
