 | Lambda Gray: A Practical, Emotional and Spiritual Guide for Gays and Lesbians Who Are Growing Older | This book - an exploration of the celebrations and challenges of aging as a gay man or lesbian woman - is the first of its kind. It is written by gays and lesbians who have lived these celebrations and challenges so completely that they now feel compelled to devote major portions of their lives to the cause of quality and humanity for their community. The authors chart a positive course for maturation in a society that is short on tolerance and long on judgement. Here, finally, is a practical, emotional and spiritual resource for the gay or lesbian reader, an intracommunity forum for the exchange of ideas about, perceptions of and solutions to the special problems encountered by that reader as he or she ages. | ||

This guide examines all the colors of the sexual rainbow, unearths hidden histories, and looks at contributions from medicine and science. It also includes a unique global survey of laws that affect sexual minorities. | ||

Queer is a humorous, engaging, and honest guide that helps LGBT teens come out to friends and family, navigate their new LGBT social life, figure out if a crush is also queer, and rise up against bigotry and homophobia. Queer also includes personal stories from the authors and sidebars on queer history. It’s a must-read for any teen who thinks they might be queer—or knows someone who is. | ||

 | The Unofficial Gay Manual: Living the Lifestyle | As the twentieth century draws to a close, it appears that it's at long last okay - even cool - to be gay. Kevin DiLallo and Jack Krumholtz say it's about time. Just at this historical turning point comes The Unofficial Gay Manual, a wild and witty guide to the tribal customs of the red-blooded American gay male. With essays, multiple-choice and true-false tests, lists, sidebars, and charts, the Manual explains it all for you with items that are as informative and enlightening as they are laugh-out-loud funny. Profusely illustrated with photos and drawings, The Unofficial Gay Manual is hip enough to titillate the most jaded urbanite, and wholesome enough to take home to Mom - an absolute must-have for gay men, their families and friends, and a hilarious eye-opener for just about everyone else. | ||

 | With downcast gays: Aspects of homosexual self-oppression | During the Third Reich in Germany, the Nazis developed a simple and effective system for identifying the various undesirables and "enemies of the state" imprisoned in concentration camps. Each group had to wear an identifying symbol sewn to its clothing. One group was singled out by a pink triangle worn point down on the left arm of the jacket and on the right pant leg. These were the homosexuals. Tens of thousands wore this symbol to their deaths in the gas chambers and forced labour camps of Nazi Germany. We have chosen the pink triangle as a symbol. A symbol of the history that other hands have tried to obliterate, the history that we must recover. It is also a reminder of where gay oppression can lead if gay people neglect the active struggle for their rights. | ||

 | Sexuality: A Very Short Introduction | Is our sexuality determined primarily by our genes? Or is it shaped by the social norms and expectations we happen to be born into. This Very Short Introduction provides an accessible, thoughtful and thought-provoking introduction to major debates around sexuality in the modern world, highlighting the social and political aspects of sexuality. It critically explores different ways of defining and thinking about sexuality and shows that many of our assumptions about what is "natural" in the sexual domain have, in reality, varied greatly in different historical or cultural contexts. The volume also examines ways in which governments have tried to regulate citizens' sexualities in the past-through policies and laws concerning public health, HIV/Aids, prostitution, and sex education-paying special attention to the particular zeal with which women's sexuality has been policed. The volume concludes by discussing political activism around sexuality more widely, focusing on the ways in which f... | ||
