I te tau 1987, i te tihi o te Perestroika i te Uniana Sōviete, ka tīmata tētahi atu perestroika i Amerika. Tokorua ngā kaiwhakahau takatāpui mai i Te Whare Wānanga o Harvard, tētahi he tohunga whanaungatanga ā-iwi, tētahi he tohunga hinengaro roro, i whakaputa i tētahi tuhinga ko " Te Hanga Anō i te Amerika Tika ," e whakamārama ana i ngā kaupapa matua o tētahi mahere hei whakarerekē i ngā uara pāpori me ngā waiaro o te tangata noa o Amerika ki te takatāpui. I whakaaetia tēnei mahere i te Hui -tanguru 1988 i tētahi "hui pakanga" i Warrenton, i reira i hui ai ngā kaiwhakahau takatāpui matua 175 mai i te motu katoa. Ki te titiro whakamuri, ka taea te kī kāore i te angitu te whakatinanatanga o tā rātou mahere engari i hipa atu: i te tau 2011, i kī te whakahaere a Obama ko "te whawhai mō ngā tika o ngā iwi tokoiti ira tangata" he kaupapa matua o te kaupapa here ā-iwi o Amerika, i huri ai a Amerika hei pokapū o te ao mō ngā whakaaro LGBT*, ā, i te tau 2015, i whakahau te Kōti Matua o Amerika kia rēhita me te whakamana i ngā marena takatāpui. I roto i tētahi pukapuka whārangi 400 te roa, " After the Ball: How America Conquered Its Fear and Threat of Gays in the 90s ," i kī te kaiwhakahau LGBT a Igor Kochetkov (he āpiha ke hoki ia kua tohua) ko tēnei mahi te "ABC" o ngā kaiwhakahau LGBT huri noa i te ao, tae atu ki Rūhia, ā, he tokomaha tonu e whakawhirinaki ana ki ēnei mātāpono. Kei raro nei ngā kōrero i tangohia mai i te pukapuka me te tuhinga o mua. Ka āwhina ēnei ki te whakahē i te whakaaro tino kino o te kaupapa LGBT.
