No More Secrets By:Janice Lynn Ristock Published on 2002 by Psychology Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Violence is a male biological trait. When women fight, no one gets seriously hurt. Lesbians don't abuse their spouses. The truth revealed in Janice Ristock's groundbreaking book is that lesbian relationships sometimes do turn violent. Based on interviews with more than one hundred lesbians who have suffered abuse and seventy-five case workers, No More Secrets is the first in-depth account of this startling phenomenon. Although one in four gay and lesbian couples are affected by domestic violence, the problem has remained hidden for several reasons. By giving voice to the victims, Ristock helps women to address violence by breaking silences, sharing secrets, and naming the forms of abuse.

Lesbian Rabbis By:Rebecca Trachtenberg Alpert Published on 2001 by Rutgers University Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) The office of rabbi is the most visible symbol of power and prestige in Jewish communities.

The Dividends of Dissent By:Amin Ghaziani Published on 2008-10-01 by University of Chicago Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Marching on Washington is a hallowed tradition of American political protest, and demonstrations led by the women’s rights, civil rights, and antiwar movements all endure in popular memory. Between 1979 and 2000 four major lesbian and gay demonstrations took place there, and while these marches were some of the largest of their time, they have been sorely overlooked—until now. Drawing on extensive archival research, historical data, original photographs, interviews with key activists, and more than a thousand news articles, The Dividends of Dissent offers a thorough analysis—descriptive, historical, and sociological—of these marches and their organization. Amin Ghaziani ably puts these demonstrations into their cultural context, chronicling gay and lesbian life at the time and the political currents that prompted the protests. He then turns to each march in detail, focusing...

Ammonite By:Nicola Griffith Published on 2002-04-10 by Del Rey ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Change or die: the only options available on the Durallium Company-owned planet GP. The planet's deadly virus had killed most of the original colonists -- and changed the rest irrevocably. Centuries after the colony had lost touch with the rest of humanity, the Company returned to exploit GP, and its forces found themselves fighting for their lives. Afraid of spreading the virus, the Company had left its remaining employees in place, afraid and isolated from the natives. Then anthropologist Marghe Taishan arrived on GP, sent to test a new vaccine against the virus. As she risked death to uncover the natives' biological secret, she found that she, too, was changing, and realized that not only had she found a home on GP -- she herself carried the seeds of its destruction . . .

A Woman Like That By:Joan Larkin Published on 2009-10-13 by Harper Collins ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) The act of |coming out| has the power to transform every aspect of a woman's life: family, friendships, career, sexuality, spirituality. An essential element of self-realization, it is the unabashed acceptance of one's |outlaw| standing in a predominantly heterosexual world. These accounts -- sometimes heart-wrenching, often exhilarating -- encompass a wide breadth of backgrounds and experiences.

Lavender and Red By:Emily K. Hobson Published on 2016-10-04 by Univ of California Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) LGBT activism is often imagined as a self-contained struggle, inspired by but set apart from other social movements. Lavender and Red recounts a far different story: a history of queer radicals who understood their sexual liberation as intertwined with solidarity against imperialism, war, and racism. This politics was born in the late 1960s but survived well past Stonewall, propelling a gay and lesbian left that flourished through the end of the Cold War. The gay and lesbian left found its center in the San Francisco Bay Area, a place where sexual self-determination and revolutionary internationalism converged. Across the 1970s, its activists embraced socialist and women of color feminism and crafted queer opposition to militarism and the New Right. In the Reagan years, they challenged U.S. intervention in Central America, collaborated with their peers in Nicaragua, and mentored the...

Fragmented Citizens By:Stephen M. Engel Published on 2016-05-24 by NYU Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) The landmark Supreme Court decision in June 2015 legalizing the right to same-sex marriage marked a major victory in gay and lesbian rights in the United States. Once subject to a patchwork of laws granting legal status to same-sex couples in some states and not others, gay and lesbian Americans now enjoy full legal status for their marriages wherever they travel or reside in the country. For many, the Supreme Court’s ruling means that gay and lesbian citizens are one step closer to full equality with the rest of America. In Fragmented Citizens, Stephen M. Engel contends that the present moment in gay and lesbian rights in America is indeed one of considerable advancement and change—but that there is still much to be done in shaping American institutions to recognize gays and lesbians as full citizens. With impressive scope and fascinating examples, Engel traces the relationship between gay an...

We are family By:Turan Ali Published on 1996-12-01 by Burns & Oates ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Lesbians and gay men become parents in many different ways; through heterosexual marriages, artificial insemination, formal and informal arrangements with straight or gay donor fathers, surrogacy, fostering and adoption. They receive a wide variety of responses to becoming parents. Through interviews with gay and lesbian parents from a wide range of circumstances We Are Family paints a detailed, emotional and enlightening picture. It shows that queers usually make excellent parents and provide a balanced and successful environment for raising children. Too many lesbians and gay men still hide the truth of their parenting arrangements because of the power of the prejudice and the myths that surround their situation. The latest research studies offer proof that same-sex couples and extended queer families consistently bring up their children to be happy and well-adjusted adults, who display the usual...
