"The phrase 'LGBT community' is often used by policy-makers, service providers, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people themselves, but what does it mean? What understandings and experiences does that term suggest, and ignore? Based on a UK-wide study funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, this book explores these questions from the perspectives of over 600 research participants. Examining ideas about community 'ownership'; 'difference' and diversity; relational practices within and beyond physical spaces; imagined communities and belongings; the importance of 'ritual' spaces and symbols, and consequences for wellbeing, the book foregrounds the lived experience of LGBT people to offer a broad analysis of commonalities and divergences in relation to LGBT identities. Drawing on an interdisciplinary perspective grounded in international social science research, the book will appeal to students and scholars with interests in sexual and/or gender identities in the fields of community studies, cultural studies, gender studies, geography, leisure studies, politics, psychology, sexuality studies, social policy, social work, socio-legal studies, and sociology. The book also offers implications for practice, suitable for policy-maker, practitioner, and activist audiences, as well as those with a more personal interest"--The publisher.

Cet article propose une recension critique des recherches sur la santé des adolescentes lesbiennes, bisexuelles et en questionnement (LBQ) au Canada et aux États-Unis. La recension a été conduite dans une perspective féministe en vue de circonscrire les problématiques qui touchent plus particulièrement les jeunes filles de minorités sexuelles, de dégager les différences selon le sexe et l'orientation sexuelle ainsi que de débusquer certains biais méthodologiques (voire idéologiques) parfois reconduits dans les recherches. Les études sont examinées sous l'angle de leur capacité à rendre compte de la double oppression qui pèse sur les adolescentes LBQ et des difficultés auxquelles celles-ci doivent faire face.

This book explores the work and careers of women, trans, and third-gender artists engaged in political activism. While some artists negotiated their own political status in their Indigenous communities, others responded to global issues of military dictatorship, racial discrimination, or masculine privilege in regions other than their own. Women, trans, and third-gender artists continue to highlight and challenge the disturbing legacies of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, communism, and other political ideologies that are correlated with patriarchy, primogeniture, sexism, or misogyny. The book argues that solidarity among such artists remains valuable and empowering for those who still seek legitimate recognition in art schools, cultural institutions, and the history curriculum.

This book examines queer activism and queer social movements (QSMs) in Indonesia and Malaysia, broadly engaging with these topics on three different levels: macro (global and national discourses), meso (organizational level activities), and micro (individual the activist). The micro level perspective allows for moving beyond the "traditional" political movement paradigm by understanding activism in Foucauldian terms as the ethics of the self (Foucault, 1984). In other words, the queer subject is seen as an active agent in taking care of the self by queering/resisting gender norms as well as heteronormative practices and regimes in their social environment through embodiment and actions. This kind of ethical being has the potential to build support and community between and amongst individuals.

Este libro reúne las aportaciones de investigadoras e investigadores que han abordado la compleja tarea de rastrear y visibilizar las experiencias de la disidencia sexual desde la guerra civil hasta la transición democrática, con base en una serie de archivos --estatales, internacionales, personales y de historias de vida-- que muestran tanto las violencias institucionales como el coraje, las formas de expresarse y las dinámicas sociales de las «locas». Con este último término hemos querido poner el acento en cómo las personas perseguidas se autopercibieron y crearon marcos culturales propios. Este volumen condensa los importantes logros que la ardua investigación de archivo ha conseguido en múltiples ámbitos territoriales, siendo, por tanto, lectura imprescindible para aquellas personas que se especialicen o que se adentren por primera vez en esta página crucial de nuestra historia como colectivo. A través del archivo de las locas, nos replanteamos el papel de la violencia estatal como eje articulador de esa historia, y recuperamos historias invisibilizadas de alegría, placer y resistencia

What does it mean to grow older as a lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT) person? What gaps in knowledge about LGBT ageing remain? This timely and innovative book reports on a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council which aimed to address gaps in knowledge about older LGBT people and their experiences of ageing. The book discusses the project and contains chapters either specially commissioned or written by leading researchers and activists in the field. Informed by a range of theoretical perspectives, empirical research studies, critical observations as well as lived experiences, this book explores areas of LGBT ageing that have been under-studied. These include: bisexual ageing; trans ageing and older trans people's mental health; ethnicity, culture and religion in the lives of older LGBT people and gaps in knowledge about older LGBT people from minority ethnic communities; intergenerational networks; residential and end-of-life care; and the effects of austerity on services. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential for researchers and policy makers interested in the lives of older LGBT people, people who work with older people and teachers and students interested in ageing, gender identity and sexuality.

resume Avec la montée des revendications féministes et culturelles, on a reproché au libéralisme politique de ne pas prendre au sérieux la diversité en faisant la promotion d'une neutralité publique qui marginalise les minorités sexuelles, religieuses et culturelles. Aussi la « politique de la différence » s'est-elle présentée comme une alternative démocratique crédible à un libéralisme hostile à la diversité. Stephen Macedo entend montrer que le libéralisme politique respecte au contraire une large gamme de conceptions du bien et de modes de vie, mais ne saurait accommoder des minorités qui refusent le pluralisme afin de maintenir leur identité collective et dont les revendications et les pratiques entravent l'éducation publique à la citoyenneté démocratique, en particulier à la vertu de tolérance.

This book describes and analyzes the lived experience of elder abuse from the queer community. It discusses the experiences by transwomen, gay men and lesbians of financial abuse, physical and sexual abuse, homophobic abuse, and neglect within partner relationships, residential care, in home care, and religious organizations. Queer and trans elders have been described as 'The Silent Generation', since they have lived through times when their sexual and gender identities were criminalized and pathologized. The book shows that they are far more at risk to suffer abuse and neglect by those they should be able to trust, since they are more likely to have encountered all key risk factors, such as isolation, previous abuse and trauma, and mistrust of the health care system. Their vulnerability has been overlooked and this book addresses that gap. As such, this book provides a great resource to anyone working with elders, including medical professionals, care providers, police, counsellors, and policy makers.

Tang and Wijaya present a range of new and established scholarly voices, including local activists directly involved in developments in Southeast Asia. This groundbreaking collection presents the current state of play and longstanding LGBTQ+ debates in this often-overlooked region of Asia. The diversity of both the subject and the region is reflected in the broad scope of topics addressed, from the impact of Japanese queer popular culture on queer Filipinos, to the politics of public toilets in Singapore, and the impact of digital governance on queer communities across ASEAN. Taken in combination, these investigations not only highlight the operations of queer politics in Southeast Asia, but also present a concrete basis to reflect on queer knowledge production in the region. A vital resource for students and scholars of gender and sexuality in Southeast Asia, or any Queer or LGBTQ+ studies looking beyond the West.--

"Queer women have been written out of history since, well, forever. 'But historians famously care about women!', said no one. From Anne Bonny and Mary Read who sailed the seas together disguised as pirates, to US football captain Megan Rapinoe declaring 'You can't win a championship without gays on your team', via countless literary salons and tuxedos, A Short History of Queer Women sets the record straight on women who have loved other women through the ages."--

After widespread neglect over many years, the study of human sexuality has recently come to the forefront of many of the most important debates in contemporary society and culture. This book addresses seriously the issue of how to improve the methodological basis of research into non-heterosexual sexualities, exploring the key question of what different methodological and theoretical uses of intersectionality contribute to our understandings of non-heterosexual sexualities. Bringing together research from the UK, USA, Europe and Australasia, this innovative collection rethinks traditional methodologies, creating new epistemologies and applying new approaches, whilst critically examining key issues, including communities, identities, relationships, sexualities, homosexual parenthood, fostering, civil marriage, and politics. As such, it will be of interest to researchers, scholars and students across the social sciences and health professionals.

Résumé En s'appuyant sur une approche constructiviste des médias, et revisitant L'histoire de la sexualité de Michel Foucault, Almira Ousmanova analyse l'articulation de la question sexuelle et du discours politique post-soviétique dans les médias biélorusses. Elle montre qu'en assimilant tous ceux qui s'opposent au pouvoir en place à des minorités sexuelles elles-mêmes représentées comme dotées d'une sexualité « méprisable », les médias officiels biélorusses contribuent à un double objectif : discréditer toute différence de genre et de sexualité (et ainsi maintenir un statu quo entre le pouvoir actuel et le système de valeurs traditionnel) et délégitimer toute différence politique : l'image de l'opposition « pédérastique » condition de la « masculinité » du pouvoir en place doit jouer son rôle historique à la veille des élections présidentielles.

"Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s-1990s explores the history of gay, lesbian and non-heterosexual people in the Communist Party in the United States The Communist Party banned LGBT people from membership beginning in 1938 when it cast them off as "degenerates." It persisted in this policy until 1991 when the Party split apart in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. During this 60- year ban, gays and lesbians who did join the Communist Party were deeply closeted within it, as well as in their public lives as both queer and Communist. By the late 1930s the Communist Party had a membership approaching 100,000 and tens of thousands of more people moved in its orbit through the Popular Front against fascism, anti-racist organizing, especially in the south, and its widely read cultural magazine, The New Masses. Based on a decade of archival research, correspondence, and interviews, Bettina Aptheker explores this history, also pulling from her own experience as a closeted lesbian in the Communist Party in the 1960s and 70s. Ironically, and in spite of this homophobia individual Communists laid some of the political and theoretical foundations for lesbian and gay liberation, and contributed significantly to peace, social justice, civil rights, Black and Latinx liberation movements. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and general readers in political history, gender studies and the history of sexuality"--

Résumé Cet article analyse les effets et les limites des politiques de mixité mises en place par deux syndicats anglais majeurs — gmb et unison . Depuis plus de quinze ans, poussés par des préoccupations morales et stratégiques, la plupart des syndicats en Angleterre ont, en effet, adopté des mesures dites 'radicales' visant à contrer les mécanismes internes de (re)production des inégalités sexuées. Dans les syndicats les plus féminisés, ces mesures ont permis à des femmes, blanches et avec un certain niveau de qualification, de monter dans la hiérarchie syndicale. Parallèlement, des structures spécifiques se sont développées pour les autres catégories de militants également sous-représentés dans les structures syndicales (minorités ethniques, handicapés, minorités sexuelles). Les résultats de l'enquête fondés principalement sur des récits de carrière militante montrent tout à la fois la résistance du plafond de verre et la sous-estimation des inégalités entre femmes.
