This is a labor of love; it is my love letter to the world. Its message of positive perspective, how to love yourself and increase self-esteem is primarily intended for the LGBTQI, BIID, and Polyamory communities, but it is also quite useful for absolutely anyone who wishes to have a more realized sense of self-identity. I hold two Bachelors Degrees, one in Psychology and the other in Business Management; I am an affectional orientated lesbian as well. After having been through religious oppression, extreme abuse and even homelessness, I have managed to thrive and I offer this book as my definitive statement on how and why we need to accept all peoples in this vast, diverse world if we truly wish to learn to love ourselves. Most books on these types of subjects don't address the philosophical and psychological mind-set needed to self-identify with authenticity. I also wanted to show the reader how to feel great about her or himself even in the worst of situations. This book fills that need.

Once viewed as an inevitable if unpleasant part of growing up,
bullying is now recognized as a real threat to students' physical
and psychological well-being -- particularly in light of recent teen
suicides linked with homophobia in schools. Despite a shift in public
attitudes and legislative responses to the problem, bullying remains a
constant reality for many queer youth in Canadian schools.
In ""Don't Be So Gay " Queers, Bullying, and
Making Schools Safe, " Donn Short considers the effectiveness of
anti-harassment policies and safe-school legislation to address the
problem of homophobic bullying. After spending several months in ten
Toronto-area high schools interviewing queer youth and their allies,
Short concludes that current legislation and its approach to school
safety and homophobia is generally more responsive than proactive and
transformative. "Don't Be So Gay " suggests that
while effective legislation is vital to establishing a safe space for
queer students, other influences -- including religion, family beliefs,
and peer pressure -- may be more powerful. Drawing on students'
own experiences and thoughts on how safety is pursued in their schools
and how their understandings and definitions of safety might be
translated into law and policy reform, this book offers a fresh
perspective on a hotly debated issue.Donn Short is an assistant professor of law at Robson
Hall Faculty of Law at the University of Manitoba and the founding
editor of the "Canadian Journal of Human Rights."

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Fire Island, Bette Davis, reincarnation, the movies, Henry James, the Russian baths, being lonely in public, following strangers, washing a corpse, the FDR Drive and the racetrack all figure predominantly in Michael Klein's THE TALKING DAY--a talking book of poems that speak to the terrible beauty of the world we live in and the world we live without. "I'm dumb about the world. To me, it always looks haunted" is the first line of the first poem in this book and by the end, that haunting has turned fear into grace."This is a book of such modesty and greatness. Michael writes about the most private situation and warmly includes all its angles, and losses, boondoggles and altars. His subject is this: how I am inside my life. There's something notebook-y here too which is how the book is elegant. The flow is approximate. Anything can happen 'in' here because that's how it feels to be alive in an uncharted and open world."--Eileen Myles

Compelled by his own 2005 HIV diagnosis, journalist John-Manuel Andriote revisits his acclaimed chronicle of the AIDS epidemic in this updated and expanded edition of the University of Chicago Press 1999 hardcover original. Andriote examines the impact of AIDS on individuals and on the gay civil rights movement, from the coming-out revelry of the 1970s to the post-AIDS gay community of the twenty-first century's first decade. Victory Deferred looks at how AIDS has changed both individual lives and national organizations. It tells the story of how a health crisis pushed a disjointed jumble of local activists to become a national visible and politically powerful civil rights movement, a full-fledged minority group challenging the authority of some of the nation's most powerful institutions. Based on hundreds of interviews with those at the forefront of the medical, political, cultural, civic, and national responses to the epidemic, Victory Deferred artfully blends personal narratives with institutional histories and organizational politics to show how AIDS forced gay men from their closets and ghettos into the hallways of power to lobby and into the streets to protest.

Dr. Isaac Namdar belongs to the Mashadi Jewish community, a congregation of first generation immigrants from Iran. The majority of the community in the New York metropolitan area lives in a very tight-knit area of Great Neck, and their lives center around the synagogue and the communal sense of Judaism. Recently, the news that Dr. Namdar is gay and had married his long-time same-sex partner broke out. In the ensuing few weeks, many people in the community did some soul searching to evaluate their own attitude towards this phenomenon that was never before encountered amongst their ranks. Meanwhile, the leadership and Rabbis of the community issued edicts and took steps to excommunicate Dr. Namdar from his ancestral synagogue. Simultaneously, a Discussion Board feature on Dr. Namdar's wedding website allowed many to express a wide array of views pro and against gay rights and gay marriage. Many in the community used the extreme views forced upon them by the leadership on this specific topic to widen the discussion about the role of religious authority on the lives of individual members. This book is compilation of all the 740 entries that created a most interesting honest, intelligent, and anonymous public debate that you will ever read.

A trilogy telling a story of love and loyalty, betrothal and betrayal, triumph and tragedy; novels that chart one man's attempts to rise above the legacy of a traumatic childhood. The first book deals with Simon's childhood friendship and eventually love affair with an older boy, the second the trauma of his teenage years and early adulthood, the third his struggle to maintain equilibrium and the consequences of his failure at one point to achieve that. It is a fictional biography, written because it tells a strong story which raises many issues over six decades, the post war baby boomer generation who in many ways never had it so good. His own experience is probably unique, yet will strike a chord with many others who have been through similar things, as well as those with an interest in such matters, either personal or professional, such as police and probation officers, criminologists with an interest in this field or those investigating the developing 'queer theory'. It's a varied, exciting, demanding, sometimes terrifying life story. It is not suitable for those under 18 years or who find explicit sexual narrative, including sexual violence, offensive. The first part was originally published in March 2012 under the title "The Secret Catamite Book 1 The Book of Daniel" which is still available separately in downloadable formats only.
