In November 1993 voters in Cincinnati, Ohio passed Issue 3, an amendment to the City Charter eliminating gay, lesbian and bisexual persons' legal protection against discrimination and prohibiting their recognition as a group or class. This Christian right initiative emerged largely in response to the inclusion of ‘sexual orientation’ in the City's newly enacted Human Rights Ordinance just one year earlier. The Christian right did not operate in isolation in their struggle to pass Issue 3. Rather, the gay, lesbian, and bisexual movement engaged with the right in efforts to thwart the initiative. At different times during the campaign, each side influenced the other in terms of cultural opportunities, framing, collective identity and related strategies. Using qualitative data, in this study I capture the dynamics and interdependence of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual movement and the Christian right as they engaged in conflict over Cincinnati, Ohio's Issue 3 by focusing on cultural factors relevant to movement mobilization, strategies, and success. I found that movements are afforded cultural opportunities when they interpret—events, especially suddenly imposed grievances, as contradictory to their core beliefs; opponent movements as weakened; and existing master frames as available for appropriation. The gay rights movement affected the opportunities available to the Christian right. Further, I discovered that while both movements maintained task orientations in devising and deploying campaign claims and images, the Christian right claims more successfully resonated with the public. I argue that the relative success of the right-wing created an imperative for the gay rights movement to systematically respond by re-framing their claims.

520 # $a The Christian right mobilized tightly around their salient Christian identity. The gay rights movement experienced identity disputes resulting in the privileging of assimilationist goals over liberationist. I describe the ways in which the Christian right influenced that process. This study has implications for understanding the dynamics between opposing social movements and the role of culture in movement mobilization and strategy.
