Book Synopsis Ordinary in Brighton?: LGBT, Activisms and the City by : Kath Browne
Download or read book Ordinary in Brighton?: LGBT, Activisms and the City written by Kath Browne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary in Brighton? offers the first large scale examination of the impact of the UK equalities legislation on lesbian, gay, bi- and trans (LGBT) lives, and the effects of these changes on LGBT political activism. Using the participatory research project, Count Me In Too, this book investigates the material issues of social/spatial injustice that were pertinent for some - but not all- LGBT people, and explores activisms working in partnership that operated with/within the state. Ordinary in Brighton? explores the unevenly felt consequences of assimilation and inclusion in a city that was compelled to provide a place (literally and figuratively) for LGBT people. Brighton itself is understood to be exceptional, and exploring this specific location provides insights into how place operates as constitutive of lives and activisms. Despite its placing as ’the gay capital’ and its long history as a favoured location of LGBT people, there is very little academic or popular literature published about this city. This book offers insights into the first decade of the 21st century when sexual and gender dissidents supposedly became ordinary here, rather than exceptional and transgressive. It argues that geographical imaginings of this city as the ’gay capital’ formed activisms that sought positive social change for LGBT people. The possibilities of legislative change and urban inclusivities enabled some LGBT people to live ordinary lives, but this potential existed in tension with normalisations and exclusions. Alongside the necessary critiques, Ordinary in Brighton? asks for conceptualisations of the creative and co-operative possibilities of ordinariness. The book concludes by differentiating the exclusionary ideals of normalisation from the possibilities of ordinariness, which has the potential to render a range of people not only in-place, but commonplace.

But when Maggie’s mom, Iris, dies in a car crash, Maggie returns home only to discover a withdrawn dad, an angry brother, and, along with Iris's will, five sealed envelopes, each addressed to a mysterious man she’s never heard of. In an effort to run from her own grief and discover the truth about Iris—who made no secret of her discomfort with her daughter's sexuality—Maggie embarks on a road trip, determined to hand-deliver the letters and find out what these men meant to her mother. Maggie quickly discovers Iris’s second, hidden life, which shatters everything Maggie thought she knew about her parents’ perfect relationship. What is she supposed to tell her father and brother? And how can she deal with her own relationship when her whole world is in freefall? Told over the course of a funeral and shiva, and written with enormous wit and warmth, All My Mother's Lovers is the exciting debut novel from fiction writer and book critic Ilana Masad. A unique meditation on the universality and particularity of family ties and grief, and a tender and biting portrait of sex, gender, and identity, All My Mother's Lovers challenges us to question the nature of fulfilling relationships.

Download or read book Queer beyond London written by Matt Cook and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to queer British history, London has stolen the limelight. But what about the millions of queer lives lived elsewhere? In Queer beyond London, two leading LGBTQ+ historians take you on a journey through four English cites from the sixties to the noughties, exploring the northern post-industrial heartlands and taking in the salty air of the seaside cities of the South. Covering the bohemian, artsy world of Brighton, the semi-hidden queer life of military Plymouth, the lesbian activism of Leeds, and the cutting edge dance and drag scenes of Manchester, they show how local people, places and politics shaped LGBTQ+ life in each city, forging vibrant and distinctive queer cultures of their own. Using pioneering community histories from each place, and including the voices of queer people who have made their lives there, the book tells local stories at the heart of our national history.

Download or read book Sexuality written by Meg-John Barker and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Sexuality delivers the goods, making the history and theory of sexuality downright sexy ... I learned more in one session with this book than I've figured out in a lifetime.' Christine Burns MBE, author of Trans Britain They're back! Writer Meg-John Barker and artist Jules Scheele once again team up in this cheeky and informative comic-book follow-up to Queer and Gender. Sex is everywhere. It's in the stories we love - and the stories we fear. It defines who we are and our place in society ... at least we're told it ought to. Sex and sexuality can seem like a house of horrors, full of monsters and potential pitfalls. We often live with fear, shame and frustration when it comes to our own sexuality, and with judgement when it comes to others'. Sex advice manuals, debates over sex work and stories of sexual "dysfunction" only add to our anxiety. With compassion, humour, erudition and a touch of the erotic, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele shine a light through the darkness and unmask the monsters. 'The art introduces a set of reoccurring characters, tongue-in-cheek references to the Scooby-Doo gang, who journey through a haunted house confronting and unmasking the villains: patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism personified ... The sum: accessible, compassionate reading for readers wanting to think more deeply about sex, society, and how they intersect.' Publishers Weekly

With judicious use of the Oxford comma, pop culture trivia, common mystery tropes, and a keen eye for deceit, our protagonist swaggers through the mean streets of — yes, a Canadian city! — and discovers that what seems at first to be just a grotty little street killing is actually the surface of a grandiose and glittering set of criminal schemes.

Book Synopsis Feminist Activism and Digital Networks by : Aristea Fotopoulou
Download or read book Feminist Activism and Digital Networks written by Aristea Fotopoulou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the way that, in the last decade, digital technologies have become inextricably linked to culture, economy and politics and how they have transformed feminist and queer activism. This exciting text critically analyses the contradictions, tensions and often-paradoxical aspects that characterize such politics, both in relation to identity and to activist practice. Aristea Fotopoulou examines how activists make claims about rights online, and how they negotiate access, connectivity, openness and visibility in digital networks. Through a triple focus on embodied media practices, labour and imaginaries, and across the themes of bodily autonomy, pornography, reproduction, and queer social life, she advocates a move away from understandings of digital media technologies as intrinsically exploitative or empowering. By reinstating the media as constant material agents in the process of politicization, Fotopoulou creates a powerful text that appeals to students and scholars of digital media, gender and sexuality, and readers interested in the role of media technologies in activism.

For many years, same-sex couples were denied the right to marry, which excluded them from a range of legal protections and benefits. The movement for marriage equality aimed to provide LGBT couples the same legal recognition and rights as heterosexual couples, reinforcing the idea that love and commitment should not be limited by sexual orientation. Historical Context of LGBT Marriage Historically, marriage was viewed through a strictly heterosexual lens, with same-sex relationships largely invisible or criminalized in many societies. The struggle for LGBT marriage rights gained momentum in the 20th century, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s, when countries like the Netherlands, Canada, and Spain became some of the first to legalize same-sex marriage. The journey to marriage equality has been long and arduous, with significant legal, cultural, and religious opposition along the way. Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriages Many countries around the world now legally recognize same-sex marriages, providing LGBT couples with the same legal status as heterosexual couples. In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in *Obergefell v. Hodges* legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, marking a historic victory for LGBT rights. This ruling was built upon decades of advocacy and legal challenges. Marriage equality has been crucial in providing LGBT couples with rights related to inheritance, taxation, child adoption, and healthcare access. Religious Perspectives on LGBT Marriage The issue of same-sex marriage has often intersected with religious beliefs. Many religious institutions have opposed LGBT marriage on theological grounds, citing traditional views of marriage as between one man and one woman. However, some denominations and religious leaders have embraced a more inclusive stance, arguing that marriage should be about love and commitment, regardless of gender. This debate continues to shape the broader discourse around LGBT marriage rights.
Book Synopsis Locating Queer Histories by : Matt Cook
Download or read book Locating Queer Histories written by Matt Cook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranging from the mid-19th century to the present, and from Edinburgh to Plymouth, this powerful collection explores the significance of locality in queer space and experiences in modern British history. The chapters cover a broad range of themes from migration, movement and multiculturalism; the distinctive queer social and political scenes of different cities; and the ways in which places have been reimagined through locally led community history projects. The book challenges traditional LGBTQ histories which have tended to conceive of queer experience in the UK as a comprising a homogeneous, national narrative. Edited by leading historians, the book foregrounds the voices of LGBTQ-identified people by looking at a range of letters, diaries, TV interviews and oral testimonies. It provides a unique and fascinating account of queer experiences in Britain and how they have been shaped through different localities.
Book Synopsis LGBT Football Fans by : Rory Magrath
Download or read book LGBT Football Fans written by Rory Magrath and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While recent years have seen the emergence of a significant body of research on LGBT inclusion in sport, little is known about LGBT fans. This book provides the first in-depth examination of LGBT football fans’ experiences and sense of place in the contemporary English game. Drawing on almost 100 semi-structured interviews with LGBT fans, it explores several important findings, including how these fans represent ‘authentic’ notions of fandom, the emergence of LGBT Fan Groups, improved stadium environment for LGBT fans, LGBT-themed chanting and the role of governing bodies and professional football clubs. The research presented in this book extends current theorising of under-represented groups of sports fans. This is fascinating and important reading for those with an interest in the sociology of sport, sports fandom, gender and sexuality.
