AbstractThis article explores the promise of an archipelagic analytic for transgender studies through an interpretive investigation of a beauty pageant in the Philippines. Drawing on transgender studies scholarship and the emergent field of archipelagic studies, this article traces how the pageant underwent a series of archipelagic turns when the slate of candidates shifted from representing nations to representing islands, provinces, and regions across the Philippine archipelago. This turn, the author argues, displaced the centrality of the nation and put forward a translocal and translingual focus that centered islandness and island-island relations as the primary categories of embodiment and performance. In the conclusion, this article argues more broadly that transgender studies, with its discontiguous and decentered character, can also be characterized in archipelagic terms. Taken together, this article adds a new heuristic to transgender studies scholarship, while also including transgender in the growing corpus of work in archipelagic American studies that challenges "continental exceptionalism."

In 2017, transgender woman Danica Roem stunned political observers in Virginia by unseating a long-time anti-LGBTQ legislator from a conservative district in the Virginia House of Delegates.1 She was the first openly transgender person elected and seated to a state legislature. Delegate Roem's election was historic in LGBTQ political representation, but it also occurred in a period when backlash against the LGBTQ community seemed to be growing (Taylor, Lewis, and Haider-Markel 2018). These two threads led us to ask: How are LGBTQ candidates achieving historic successes even as forces seem mobilized against them?

Out and Running is the first systematic analysis of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) political representation that explores the dynamics of state legislative campaigns and the influence of lesbian and gay legislators in the state policymakin.
This study addresses a gap in Role Model Effect literature by focusing on how cisgender women candidates impact transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals' interest in running for political office. Results show support for the hypothesis that cis women candidates who campaign on issues relevant to the TGNC community increase the political interest of TGNC individuals.

Lesbietes, geji, biseksuāli cilvēki un transpersonas gadu gaitā ir kļuvušas par diskriminācijas upuriem visā pasaulē. Slikta vai nepietiekama likumdošanas un politikas īstenošana ir izraisījusi šo iedzīvotāju neapskaužamo stāvokli sabiedrībā. Lai arī situācija dažās Eiropas daļās ir mainījusies, daudzviet ir nepieciešami ievērojami uzlabojumi. Šī darba mērķis ir novērot, salīdzināt un analizēt likumus un cilvēktiesības LGBT cilvēku jomā. Uzmanība tiek vērsta uz Eiropas Savienību kā unikālu ekonomisku un politisku partnerību starp 27 Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīm un Montenegro kā kandidātvalsti. Kopš dibināšanas Eiropas Savienībā tiek skatīts cilvēktiesību jautājums, bet pēdējo 20 gadu laikā cilvēktiesības ir kļuvušas svarīgas kā nekad agrāk. Visā pasaulē dažādas institūcijas un organizācijas cenšas uzlabot un aizsargāt vispārējās cilvēktiesības, kā arī minoritāšu tiesības. Tas, cik valstij un tās sabiedrībai ir svarīgi uzlabot LGBT cilvēku stāvokli, tiks skatīts piemērā no Montenegro, valstī, kas cenšas pārvarēt tradicionālās un morāles normas, lai veidotu labāku nākotni. 2009. gads bija pirmā reize, kad nacionālajā līmenī tika izveidota plaša koalīcija, lai cīnītos par seksuālo minoritāšu tiesību īstenošanu. Seksuālo minoritāšu tiesību aizstāvēšanu atbalstīja valsts iestādes, nevalstiskās organizācijas un starptautiskās institūcijas. Laika posmā no 2010. līdz 2011. gadam kāda nevalstiska organizācijas no Montenegro izvērtēja situāciju, kurā atrodas LGBT cilvēki, veicot pētījumus šīs minoritāšu grupas vidū un pārējo iedzīvotāju starpā, izlases kopai sastādot 1000 respondentu. Starptautiskā un Eiropas likumdošana un standarti sekoja ar to īstenošanu Montenegro, un iepriekšminētie pētījumi ir šī darba saturs. Darba 3 nodaļas sniegs secinājumus un priekšlikumus, kā uzlabot LGBT cilvēku stāvokli Montenegro. Atslēgas vārdi: LGBT cilvēki, tiesību akti, Eiropas Savienības, Montenegro ; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people over the years are victims of discrimination in all parts of the world. Lack or bad implementation of legislation and policies resulted with their bad position in societies. While situation in some parts of Europe is improved, on the other side, in some parts still a lot of needs to be done. The aim of this paper work is to observe, compare and analyse laws of human right focusing on LGBT people. Focus is on European Union as unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries and Montenegro as Candidate country. Since founded, European Union is dealing for human rights but in last 20 years human rights begun to be more important than ever. All over the world different institutions and organizations are trying to protect and improve human rights in general and rights of minorities. How important is for one country and its society to improve position of LGBT people will be seen trough example of Montenegro which is trying to overcome traditional and moral norms for tomorrow`s better future. For the first time, in 2009 was formed a broad coalition at the national level to promote realization of the rights of sexual minorities. Promotion and support of human rights of sexual minorities in Montenegro was supported by governmental institutions, NGO`s and international institutions. During 2010 and 2011 one Non- governmental institution from Montenegro examined situation in which are LGBT people, based on survey with representatives of this group and survey among the citizens with a sample of 1000 respondents. International and European legislation and standards followed with their implementation in Montenegro and mentioned surveys are content of this paper work which trough three chapters will give conclusions and recommendations regarding improvement situation of LGBT people in Montenegro. Key words: LGBT people, legislation, European Union, Montenegro

This article explores how the public understands military service and diversity. Using a conjoint survey experiment, we ask respondents to select between two candidates for promotion. We randomly present respondents' two profiles, which vary the candidates' gender, race, sexual orientation, marital status, number of years served, number of deployments, combat experience, and branch of the military. We find that respondents do not discount candidates based on their branch of service, gender, race, or marital status. However, respondents do weigh the candidates' combat experience, number of years served, and number of deployments favorably. Finally, respondents penalize candidates based on their sexual orientation: Homosexual individuals are less likely to be selected for promotion. Furthermore, respondents especially discounted transgender individuals for promotion. Important differences, we show in this article, also exist between conservative and liberal respondents, as well as between male and female respondents.

Queen for a Day connects the logic of Venezuelan modernity with the production of a national femininity. In this ethnography, Marcia Ochoa considers how femininities are produced, performed, and consumed in the mass-media spectacles of international beauty pageants, on the runways of the Miss Venezuela contest, on the well-traveled Caracas avenue where transgender women (transformistas) project themselves into the urban imaginary, and on the bodies of both transformistas and beauty pageant contestants (misses). Placing transformistas and misses in the same analytic frame enables Ochoa to delv.
