In the first anthology to survey the full range of gay men's autobiographical writing from Walt Whitman to the present, ""Gay American Autobiography"" draws excerpts from letters, journals, oral histories, memoirs, and autobiographies to provide examples of the best life writing over the last century and a half. Volume editor David Bergman guides the reader chronologically through selected writings that give voice to every generation of gay writers since the nineteenth century, including a diverse array of American men of African, European, Jewish, Asian, and Latino heritage. Documenting a range of life experiences that encompass tattoo artists and academics, composers and drag queens, hustlers and clerks, it contains accounts of turn-of-the-century transvestites, gay rights activists, men battling AIDS, and soldiers attempting to come out in the army. Each selection provides important insight on the wide spectrum of ways gay men have defined and lived their lives, highlighting how self-awareness changes an author's experience. The volume includes an introduction by Bergman and headnotes for each of the nearly forty entries. Bringing many out-of-print and hard-to-find works to new readers, this challenging and comprehensive anthology chronicles American gay history and life struggles over the course of the past 150 years.

'This right which I claim for myself and for all those like me is the right to choose the person whom I love' Peter Wildeblood In March 1954 Peter Wildeblood, a London journalist, was one of five men charged with homosexual acts in the notorious Montagu case. Wildeblood was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, along with Lord Montagu and Major Michael Pitt-Rivers. The other two men were set free after turning Queen's Evidence. Against the Law tells the story of Wildeblood's childhood and schooldays, his war service, his career as a journalist, his arrest, trial and imprisonment, and finally his return to freedom. In its honesty and restraint it is eloquent testimony to the inhumanity of the treatment of gay men in Britain within living memory.

A man from Arizona buys a piece of land in the middle of a lava field while vacationing in Hawaii and returns to the island to find a deeper sense of home and build his midlife crisis tropical dream house. In this assemblage of journal entries during the trying year of construction, the author tells some of the secrets of rural Hawaii, revealing her dark underbelly. Meet the crazy neighbors in Puna's "open-air asylum," go on late night lava walks, join a lynch mob against the coqui frogs, and find the true meaning of 'aloha' in the jungle. "What do you do when you've run away from home-again-and you still want to keep running? This is a story of a relationship, not with just a house, but with a vision of home. I could have read twice as long a book with as much excitement-it was heartbreaking and hilarious to watch Gilmore's poignant love affair disintegrate. As a reader, I was rooting for the love affair to last, and I was stubbornly optimistic when it didn't . but finally, he realizes one night, while holding his dog and swinging in the hammock, that he has built a perfect home in paradise-for someone else." -Gillian Kendall, author of "Mr. Ding's Chicken Feet" ." I laughed myself silly and my mouth dropped open in amazement. The man is a true original." -David Henry Sterry, author of "Chicken, Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent"

"It is a living museum of a long-gone Jewish life and, supposedly, a testimony to the success of the French model of social integration. It is a communal home where gay men and women are said to stand in defiance of the French model of social integration. It is a place of freedom and tolerance where people of color and lesbians nevertheless feel unwanted and where young Zionists from the suburbs gather every Sunday and sometimes harass Arabs. It is a hot topic in the press and on television. It is open to the world and open for business. It is a place to be seen and a place of invisibility. It is like a home to me, a place where I feel both safe and out of place and where my father felt comfortable and alienated at the same time. It is a place of nostalgia, innovation, shame, pride, and anxiety, where the local and the global intersect for better and for worse. And for better and for worse, it is a French neighborhood." from My Father and I

Mixing personal memoir, urban studies, cultural history, and literary criticism, as well as a generous selection of photographs, My Father and I focuses on the Marais, the oldest surviving neighborhood of Paris. It also beautifully reveals the intricacies of the relationship between a Jewish father and a gay son, each claiming the same neighborhood as his own. Beginning with the history of the Marais and its significance in the construction of a French national identity, David Caron proposes a rethinking of community and looks at how Jews, Chinese immigrants, and gays have made the Marais theirs.

These communities embody, in their engagement of urban space, a daily challenge to the French concept of universal citizenship that denies them all political legitimacy. Caron moves from the strictly French context to more theoretical issues such as social and political archaism, immigration and diaspora, survival and haunting, the public/private divide, and group friendship as metaphor for unruly and dynamic forms of community, and founding disasters such as AIDS and the Holocaust. Caron also tells the story of his father, a Hungarian Jew and Holocaust survivor who immigrated to France and once called the Marais home."

As a gay man, I am part of a culture that is obsessed with rock hard gym bodies. This is the inspiration for HARD, my second photo book in the ongoing series of gay-play books that represent my visual journal into a miniature world of action figures and make-believe. Our Gay Wedding Day, the first in the series, is a lyrical look at a fictitious couple of gay men who decide to get married. HARD follows a group of gay men throughout the day at a gay gym. This second photo album is also created in small scale using action figures. Countless hours of time went into building the sets, making props and equipment, then staging and shooting the photographs. The book contains more than 150 voyeuristic photos of the boys as they do cardio and resistance training, then relax playfully in the juice bar, shower and locker room.

"Our Gay Wedding Day" is a lyrical look at a fictitious gay male couple who decide to get married. The amazing part of this photo album is that all of the approx. 180 photographs were created in miniature using action figures and dolls. Countless hours of time went into building sets, making costumes and props, then staging and shooting the photographs. It all begins the morning of the wedding and follows the couple throughout the day. In a broader political sense, "Our Gay Wedding Day" celebrates diversity. Conceptually it is a visual journal of gay culture and the natural order of things from a gay perspective: boys with boys, and girls with girls. It provides the viewer with a refreshing sentiment regarding marriage.

Homosexuality. Lesbians. Gay rights. Homophobia. These terms have come up quite a bit in recent years in Africa to the shock, embarrassment and even anger of many people. This book is about that, and about the coming out (into public view) of individuals who in the past tended to keep a low pro?le. What does the history of homosexuality and the reactions against it tell us about African history in general? And how might this knowledge help us in struggles against HIV/AIDS, gender violence and other social inequalities in contemporary Africa? Based on Marc Epprecht's award-winning monograph Hungochani: the history of a dissident sexuality in southern Africa, along with creative contributions from other pioneering scholars in the field Unspoken Facts offers a sympathetic portrayal of the lives of people who do not conform to society's dominant expectations in terms of love and marriage. Additional material includes several fictionalised accounts of same-sex relationships in southern Africa.

Building on the work of integral theorists including Ken Wilber, Don Beck, and Jim Marion, Perez shows how STEAM can build bridges across the divides.

Without someone to love, our lives can seem like emotional deserts, dry and lonely, where love can sometimes appear with surprise as a precious rose.

This collection of eight engaging stories of gay romance contain unrestrained humor, tragedy, fulfillment, wit, heartfelt torment, and characters that will steal their way into your heart. Six of the stories are fiction and two are autobiographical. Warning: Some stories contain graphic descriptions of sex between men. This collection is intended only for the mature, adult reader.

Newspaperman Ryuu Shimada falls in love with a young guy who reminds him very much of his lost love in Tokyo. A novel by a woman who's been reading too much yaoi.

The purpose of this book was to explore the lives of gay students after they had come out in college as little research has addressed this issue. Themes that emerged from this research included (a) coming-out is not a one-time occurrence, but instead a dynamic process that has been, and continues to be, influenced by the variety of experiences; (b) students arrive at college with certain preconceptions of college life. Coming-out introduces many new experiences for gay students and leads them to develop new expectations of college; and (c) throughout their coming-out process students work to integrate their gay identity into their overall identity and this level of integration varies. Major results of this study led the author to conclude that (a) a persons cornerstone, an individual or group from whom affirmation was most desired, seems to have the most profound impact on continued identity development; (b) the size and culture of some colleges create additional identity challenges; (c) positive exposure to gay individuals and culture while growing up may impact the timing of a persons coming-out, and the speed and depth for identity integration.

Computer-mediated communication offers opportunities for gay men to affirm their identities in digital contexts. Many gay men have turned to online journals, or "blogs," and internet-bound broadcasts, otherwise known as "podcasts," to perform their subjectivities. Digital performances of gay identities potentially intervene on reductive understandings of gay male identity that are prevalent in several mass mediated modes of communication. This project is grounded in a review of literature relevant to performances of identity, personal narrative, social activism, and online methods of cultural intervention. Through the use of virtual ethnographic methods, the author reveals that gay bloggers and podcasters construct multiple online personas and skillfully manipulate language to articulate their needs, desires, fears, reflections of the past, and hopes for the future. Audience members react to the generative texts by finding their own ways to contribute to online performance and bolster gay male subjectivities. The book concludes with a discussion of how bloggers, podcasters, and audience members work in an activist manner.
