Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual
People helps you look past the stereotypical picture of violence
against sexual minorities--the public physical assaults on gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth by hypermasculine male
thugs--and directs you toward the many daily acts of quiet violence
that go on, unhindered, in the workaday settings of our legal,
social, educational, and law-enforcement institutions. You'll learn
about the frightening prevelance of complacency, homophobic
ignorance, and apathy that pervades our police departments, courts,
high schools, and churches. Also, armed with this critical insight
and statistical research, you'll be better equipped to wage a
non-violent war of fairness and mutual respect against the daily,
senseless violence of policy and practice that threatens to render
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people unwelcome and
battered citizens in their own communities.You'll find that
Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual
People is ideal for aiding social workers, counselors, teachers,
and criminal justice officials in removing the unseen acts of
violence from the policies and practices of the public sector.
These and other specific areas will give you the information and
the fortitude necessary to evoke positive change in your community:
legal issues relating to same-sex marriage the connection between
social injustice and violence violence against sexual minority
youth sexual identity and ethnic minorities practice and policy
recommendations As this book shows, violence against sexual
minorities can be subtly woven into the very fabric of some of our
most long-standing, respected social institutions. For too long,
the sexual minorities of color, for example, and the lesbian who
suffers physical assault at the hands of a partner, have had little
or no help from social workers, law enforcement, or education for
fear of receiving either complete negligence or increased
antagonism.But now, in Violence and Social Injustice Against
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People, you'll find the facts and tools
necessary for turning the ugliness of communal violence into social
justice for people of all sexual orientations.
