How do unions around the world respond to issues raised by sexual minorities? Much has been written on labor’s response to issues raised by women and racial minorities, but there has been little work done on labor’s engagement with gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered. The original essays in this collection attempt to fill that void, by bringing together a group of experts who examine labor’s response to such issues as: benefits for same-sex partners, anti-discrimination language in collective agreements, and education. Speaking from a variety of racial backgrounds

This is the first book about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender families that connects issues of gender, sexuality, and the family with the broader issues of social movements, politics, and law. Chapters address the themes of visibility, transgression, and resistance, as well as the intersection between the personal and political in the contexts of relationships, parenthood, and political activism. Giving special attention to families of color, immigrant, and poor families, the authors examine the risks entailed in coming out and the significance of class, race, and sexual and gender iden

In "Post-Queer Politics", Ruffolo looks at the work of Foucault, Butler, Bakhtin, Deleuze, Guattari and others in his creative refocus on the queer/heteronormative dyad that has largely consumed queer studies and contemporary politics. He offers a radical and intersectional new way of thinking about class, race, sex, gender, sexuality and ability that extends beyond queer studies to be truly transdisciplinary in its focus and political implications. It will appeal to readers across a range of subjects, including gender and sexuality studies, philosophy, cultural studies, political science, and

How is history even possible, since it involves recapturing a past already lost? It is through this urge to understand, feel and experience, that films based on medieval history are made. They attempt to re-create the past, but can only do so through a queer re-visioning that inevitably replicates modernity. In these mediations between past and present, history becomes misty, and so, too, do constructions of gender and sexuality leading to the impossibility of heterosexuality, or of any sexuality, predicated upon cinematic medievalism. "Queer Movie Medievalisms" is the first book of its kind t

Part of the Queer Action series, edited by Michael BronskiThe first—and only—guide for LGBT youth about the law and how it affects themThe enormous advances of the civil rights movement have made it easier for LGBT youth to be “out,” yet their increased visibility has led to myriad legal issues involving such critical matters as freedom of expression, sexual harassment, self-chosen medical care, and even their right to privacy within their own families.In this accessible guide, Lisa Keen illustrates how some laws limit the rights of LGBT youth and others protect them. Out Law lays out the

Dealing with questions on the meaning of eroticism in Renaissance England and its separation from other affective relations, "Queer Renaissance Historiography" examines the distinctive arrangement of sexuality during this period, and the role that queer theory has played in our understanding. As such this book not only reflects on the practice of writing a queer history of Renaissance England, but also suggests new directions for this practice. "Queer Renaissance Historiography" collects original contributions from leading experts, participating in a range of critical conversations whilst prom
