The past decade has seen an extraordinary outpouring of
research, writing, and talk about lesbian and gay sexuality,
triggered in part by the confluence of the AIDS epidemic, the
feminist sex wars, and the development of queer studies. Yet many
lesbian and gay writers and readers have been frustrated by
recurring gaps and absences in the queer studies approach to
sexuality, as well as by the limitations of explicit queer
community discourse around sex.
Opposite Sex brings the sex back into queer studies, making real
bodies, acts, and desires central to analysis of the complex
relationships between male and female homosexualities, and their
impact on lesbian and gay culture. The contributors to this
volume--scholars, artists, activists, and journalists--redress the
remarkable dearth of thoughtful discourse about the many ways in
which lesbian and gay men are implicated--and viewed within--in
each other's sexual realities.
Opposite Sex includes writing by lesbians and gay men about each
other's bodies, interpretations of different male and female
homosexual sex cultures, and reflections on the history, sociology,
and politics of changing discourses around queer sexuality.
Passionate and challenging, this anthology shows the rich and
complex forms through which individuals and communities make
meaning from their quotidian sexual impulses, their utopian sexual
mores, and their idiosyncratic sexual acts.
The contributors include Roberto Bedoya, Kaucylia Brooke,
Lawrence Chua, Linnea Due, Sandra Lee Golvin, Jewelle Gomez,
Francisco J. Gonzalez, Della Grace, Amber Hollibaugh, Robert
Jensen, Kate Kane, Elizabeth A. Kelly, Monica Majoli, Mimi McGurl,
Robert Reid-Pharr, Gayle Rubin, Lawrence Schimel, Richard Schimpf,
and Susan Stryker.
