The Courage to Be Queer is about the wildness and beauty of an indescribable and uncontainable God. What is the Queer calling us to be? We are to be the ones shouting for justice. We are to be the ones dancing for freedom. We are to be the ones dreaming for hope. We are to be the ones . . . In the midst of the spectacle of it all, there will be those observers who hear the knocking and lean in. Will you open the door?

Ambitious prosecutor Lily Knight fights like a demon in the courtroom, but she's as dangerous to herself as others. Touch-starved by choice, she refuses to live beholden to any lover. "Innocent" doesn't describe Sebastian Ritter's craving for dominance in bedroom and boardroom. But one brush of his fingers over her skin tells Lily that he didn't commit the horrific crime he's charged with. With her life and secrets on the line, Lily races to find the real culprit. From the infuriating incubus who taught her to tempt and take, to intrigues and indiscretions at a masked cabaret, each unraveling thread entangles her further in a perilous game of seduction and lies. To survive, she must embrace her power, unleash her hunger, and surrender control...at the risk of becoming the monster she fears most of all. Cambion's Law offers trope-flipping paranormal suspense, modern noir fantasy, and dark romantic tension with a slow burn, subversive power dynamic grounded in mutual consent. Perfect for fans of Book of Azrael, Ninth House, and TV's Jessica Jones or Lucifer.

Book Synopsis Queer Virtue by : The Reverend Elizabeth M. Edman
Download or read book Queer Virtue written by The Reverend Elizabeth M. Edman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LGBTQ people are a gift to the Church and have the potential to revitalize Christianity. As an openly lesbian Episcopal priest and professional advocate for LGBTQ justice, the Reverend Elizabeth Edman has spent her career grappling with the core tenets of her faith. After deep reflection on her tradition, Edman is struck by the realization that her queer identity has taught her more about how to be a good Christian than the church. In Queer Virtue, Edman posits that Christianity, at its scriptural core, incessantly challenges its adherents to rupture false binaries, to “queer” lines that pit people against one another. Thus, Edman asserts that Christianity, far from being hostile to queer people, is itself inherently queer. Arguing from the heart of scripture, she reveals how queering Christianity—that is, disrupting simplistic ways of thinking about self and other—can illuminate contemporary Christian faith. Pushing well past the notion that “Christian love = tolerance,” Edman offers a bold alternative: the recognition that queer people can help Christians better understand their fundamental calling and the creation of sacred space where LGBTQ Christians are seen as gifts to the church. By bringing queer ethics and Christian theology into conversation, Edman also shows how the realities of queer life demand a lived response of high moral caliber—one that resonates with the ethical path laid down by Christianity. Lively and impassioned, Edman proposes that queer experience be celebrated as inherently valuable, ethically virtuous, and illuminating the sacred. A rich and nuanced exploration, Queer Virtue mines the depths of Christianity’s history, mission, and core theological premises to call all Christians to a more authentic and robust understanding of their faith.
Download or read book United Queerdom written by Dan Glass and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘One of the greatest global creative change-makers and activists in the world right now brings his incredible charisma, provocation and personality into this important book.' Ruth Daniel, CEO and Artistic Director, In Place of War 'United Queerdom is a thing of beauty. Dan Glass has penned a memoir that pulsates with existential rage, solidarity, and tactical hope.’ Amin Ghaziani, author of There Goes the Gayborhood? Throughout the 1970s the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) initiated an anarchic campaign that permanently changed the face of Britain. Inspired by the Stonewall uprisings in the US, the GLF demanded a 'Absolute Freedom For All' worldwide. Yet half a century on, injustice is rife and LGBT+ inequality remains. Complete LGBT+ liberation means housing rights, universal healthcare, economic freedom and so much more. Although many people believe queers are now free and should behave, assimilate and become palatable – Dan Glass shows that the fight is far from over. United Queerdom evocatively captures over five decades of LGBT+ culture and protest from the GLF to 2020s. Showing how central protest is to queer history and identity this book uncovers the back-breaking hard work as well as the glamorous and raucous stories of those who rebelled against injustice and became founders in the story of queer liberation.

Book Synopsis No Way, They Were Gay? by : Lee Wind
Download or read book No Way, They Were Gay? written by Lee Wind and published by Zest Books TM. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "History" sounds really official. Like it's all fact. Like it's definitely what happened. But that's not necessarily true. History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves. That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt. Join author Lee Wind for this fascinating journey through primary sources—poetry, memoir, news clippings, and images of ancient artwork—to explore the hidden (and often surprising) Queer lives and loves of two dozen historical figures.
