Fight for the human rights of LGBT individuals with strategies from
this powerful book From the intimate horror of domestic violence to
the institutionalized heterosexism of marriage laws, this volume
takes an unsparing look at the interconnections of prejudice and
hate crimes in the lives of LGBT individuals. Bringing together
original research and solidly grounded theory, From Hate Crimes to
Human Rights: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard also offers fresh
strategies so you can work effectively for social change. This
moving, thoughtful volume begins with a friend's memoir of the
murdered Matthew Shepard; this intimate glimpse is powerful
testimony that hate crimes affect individuals, not just symbolic
martyrs. From Hate Crimes to Human Rights drags hidden homophobia
from the closet and examines it with clean, incisive
intelligence.It tackles taboo topics, including: what the Bible
really says about homosexuality how minority cultures sometimes
foster hatred against the LGBT individuals in their midst why child
welfare services don't protect LGBT youth from peer violence how
internalized LGBT self-hatred can be expressed as domestic violence
Hate crimes do not occur in a cultural vacuum. From Hate Crimes to
Human Rights searches out the roots of hatred and suggests ways to
eradicate them, drawing on economics, theology, and linguistics as
well as sociology, history, and political science. Specific
suggestions include: how to use language as a social and cultural
change strategy what individuals and universities can do to promote
human rights how to make use of the intersection of difference and
tolerance to prevent hate crimes why equal treatment for LGBT
individuals is a human rights issue, not a special-interest
advantage From Hate Crimes to Human Rights provides powerful
explanations of the ways hatred generates hate crimes and proposes
positive action you can take to validate human rights.A Statement
from the Authors One of the premises of this book is that if we
want to progress from hate crimes to human rights, we must learn to
respect, honor, and celebrate diversity. The chapter authors
exemplify a rainbow of ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender
identities. Each of us is committed to advocate for human rights
and to work to end hate crime. Toward those ends, the royalties
from the sale of this book will go directly to a memorial fund that
has been established at Monmouth University in Matthew Shepard's
honor. The proceeds from that fund will be used to support students
in their preparation for human rights advocacy.
