From neighborhoods as large as Chelsea or the Castro, to locales limited to a single club, like The Shamrock in Madison or Sidewinders in Albuquerque, gay areas are becoming normal. Straight people flood in. Gay people flee out. Scholars call this transformation assimilation, and some argue that we—gay and straight alike—are becoming “post-gay.” Jason Orne argues that rather than post-gay, America is becoming “post-queer,” losing the radical lessons of sex. In Boystown, Orne takes readers on a detailed, lively journey through Chicago’s Boystown, which serves as a model for gayborhoods around the country. The neighborhood, he argues, has become an entertainment district—a gay Disneyland—where people get lost in the magic of the night and where straight white women can “go on safari.” In their original form, though, gayborhoods like this one don’t celebrate differences; they create them. By fostering a space outside the mainstream, gay spaces allow people to develop an alternative culture—a queer culture that celebrates sex. Orne spent three years doing fieldwork in Boystown, searching for ways to ask new questions about the connective power of sex and about what it means to be not just gay, but queer. The result is the striking Boystown, illustrated throughout with street photography by Dylan Stuckey. In the dark backrooms of raunchy clubs where bachelorettes wouldn’t dare tread, people are hooking up and forging “naked intimacy.” Orne is your tour guide to the real Boystown, then, where sex functions as a vital center and an antidote to assimilation.

At a time when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals--often referred to under the umbrella acronym LGBT--are becoming more visible in society and more socially acknowledged, clinicians and researchers are faced with incomplete information about their health status. While LGBT populations often are combined as a single entity for research and advocacy purposes, each is a distinct population group with its own specific health needs. Furthermore, the experiences of LGBT individuals are not uniform and are shaped by factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location, and age, any of which can have an effect on health-related concerns and needs. The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People assesses the state of science on the health status of LGBT populations, identifies research gaps and opportunities, and outlines a research agenda for the National Institute of Health. The report examines the health status of these populations in three life stages: childhood and adolescence, early/middle adulthood, and later adulthood. At each life stage, the committee studied mental health, physical health, risks and protective factors, health services, and contextual influences. To advance understanding of the health needs of all LGBT individuals, the report finds that researchers need more data about the demographics of these populations, improved methods for collecting and analyzing data, and an increased participation of sexual and gender minorities in research. The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People is a valuable resource for policymakers, federal agencies including the National Institute of Health (NIH), LGBT advocacy groups, clinicians, and service providers.

From Thomas Edison''s first cinematic experiments to contemporary Hollywood blockbusters, Queer Images chronicles the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer sexualities over one hundred years of American film. The most up-to-date and comprehensive book of its kind, it explores not only the ever-changing images of queer characters onscreen, but also the work of queer filmmakers and the cultural histories of queer audiences. Queer Images surveys a wide variety of films, individuals, and subcultures, including the work of discreetly homosexual filmmakers during Hollywood''s Golden Age; classical Hollywood''s (failed) attempt to purge "sex perversion" from films; the development of gay male camp in Hollywood cinema; queer exploitation films and gay physique films; the queerness of 1960s Underground Film practice; independent lesbian documentaries and experimental films; cinematic responses to the AIDS crisis; the rise and impact of New Queer Cinema; the growth of LGBT film festivals; and how contemporary Hollywood deals with queer issues. This entertaining and insightful book reveals how the meaning of sexual identity—as reflected on the silver screen—has changed a great deal over the decades, and it celebrates both the pioneers and contemporary practitioners of queer film in America. Queer Images is an essential volume for film buffs and anyone interested in sexuality and culture.

This book uses narratives collected over a period of four years, detailing the stereotypes and stigmas attached to LGBTQ employees at the workplace in India, and it allows their voices to be heard. Further, it explores the strategies used by individuals from the LGBTQ community to pass on or reveal information related to their non-normative sexual orientation and gender identity at their workplace, and the way these strategies differ for individuals who are formally or informally 'out' as compared to those who are still in the closet or have come out to only a few people at their organization. The book emphasizes the need to study the flow of information and stigma management strategies in the context of current technological advancements, and discusses the extent to which organizations succeed in providing 'safe spaces' for employees from the LGBTQ community in India. Also addressing the impact of the Supreme Court verdict on Section 377 of the IPC and the NALSA verdict on LGBTQ individuals at the workplace, the book not only provides tools to help organizations assess their workplace climate with regard to LGBTQ inclusion and diversity, but also outlines the criteria that would lead to queer-friendly and gender-neutral work environments.

Why does one identical twin brother, who's DNA is 99% identical to his brother, identify as heterosexual, yet the other brother identifies as gay? Queer Sense describes how culture shapes an individual's belief and values, and thereby influences one's attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people. These resulting attitudes along with an individual's biological pre-dispositions, provide a road map for this individual to identify with certain sexual orientation and gender identity labels. Queer Sense is a journey of insight and gaining awareness of why you, and all of us, identify with a particular sexual orientation labels - whether it be heterosexual, bi-sexual, queer, or identify with certain gender labels such as woman, transgender, intersex, FTM. This is what a father said about Queer Sense: "I'm a dad of an out-and-proud-and-loud thirteen-year-old girl. I'm writing this review on Queer Sense because I want to help other dads like me realize just how lucky they are to have a kid that has the strength to come out of the closet. I ultimately want them to look at their child the same way I look at my daughter, and to understand that a kid who is willing to come out as 'Queer' amidst the current negative climate towards LGBTQ, is someone to admire and appreciate. After reading Queer Sense, I experienced several deep reflection moments that helped me understand better not just my daughter, but myself. I believe this book is great for so many people. I believe it can help parents & families be more understanding and sensitive to the son or daughter who is finding his/her way out of the closet. It could be an asset for mental health professionals working with LGBTQ+ clients and their families (Therapeutic settings). I can also see classrooms of HS and College students having spirited and meaningful discussions about the theory provided in this book. (Academic settings)."Queer Sense posits a central theory that there are three-key features that are essential in forming attitudes towards LGBTQ individuals and also influence how people identify one's sexual orientation and gender. These key factors include (1) ROLE MODELS including individuals and organizations, e.g. celebrities like Rachel Maddow and Bill O'Reilly, or just everyday individuals such as friends or parents or organizations such as one's church, school, sports team; (2) the EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS made towards role models/ organizations e.g. parents, teacher, pastor, or organizations like the Gay-Straight Alliance or the Republican Party; and then there's (3) the LANGUAGE, or the vernacular used in communities such as in school or work environments that influence our values and values, and thereby our attitudes. Queer Sense presents an intriguing narrative that includes personal stories integrated with research findings to provide a comprehensive read for laypersons and professionals interested in learning more about queer identity development and how to develop a more affirmative attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals.About me.... I was raised in a small town in Kansas. I had a caring and loving mother and father who did not have the typical barriers of religion that often sets parents up to be rejecting towards their coming out child. But even so, when I came out at 13 their reaction was not accepting. Why would they be? It was 1987. Gay role models in society were not visible. There were no LGBT people to connect with in our community. As far as language? You just had to tune into TV to watch the nightly news and see the negative consequences for coming out gay. Gay young men were dying by the thousands from a new disease called AIDS. LGBT people were being kicked out of the military, fired from their jobs, and being brutalized. This could explain why my parents acted with shock and fear.Queer Sense is much of a conceptual framework about sexual/ gender identity development, as it is a photograph negative of my life. I urge to you read, discover...

There are those who go to gay bars and salsa clubs with rosaries in their pockets, and who make camp chapels of their living rooms. Others enter churches with love letters hidden in their bags, because their need for God and their need for love refuse to fit into different compartments. But what goodness and righteousness can prevail if you are in love with someone whom you are ecclesiastically not supposed to love? Where is God in a salsa bar? The Queer God introduces a new theology from the margins of sexual deviance and economic exclusion. Its chapters on Bisexual Theology, Sadean holiness, gay worship in Brazil and Queer sainthood mark the search for a different face of God - the Queer God who challenges the oppressive powers of heterosexual orthodoxy, whiteness and global capitalism. Inspired by the transgressive spaces of Latin American spirituality, where the experiences of slum children merge with Queer interpretations of grace and holiness, The Queer God seeks to liberate God from the closet of traditional Christian thought, and to embrace God's part in the lives of gays, lesbians and the poor. Only a theology that dares to be radical can show us the presence of God in our times. The Queer God creates a concept of holiness that overcomes sexual and colonial prejudices and shows how Queer Theology is ultimately the search for God's own deliverance. Using Liberation Theology and Queer Theory, it exposes the sexual roots that underlie all theology, and takes the search for God to new depths of social and sexual exclusion.

This “insightful and instructive primer” debunks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about transgender issues—“buy this book and share it with [your] whole family” (Bust) From Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner to Thomas Beatie (“the pregnant man”) and transgender youth, coverage of trans lives has been exploding—yet so much misinformation persists. Bringing together the medical, social, psychological, and political aspects of being trans in the United States today, “You’re in the Wrong Bathroom!” unpacks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Authors Laura Erickson-Schroth, MD, a psychiatrist, and Laura A. Jacobs, LCSW-R, a psychotherapist, address a range of fallacies: • Trans People Are “Trapped in the Wrong Body” • You’re Not Really Trans If You Haven’t Had “the Surgery” • Trans People Are a Danger to Others, Especially Children • Trans People Are Mentally Ill and Therapy Can Change Them • Trans People and Feminists Don’t Get Along
