	All Books by Lacey M. Sloan and Nora Gustavsson - Editors of : Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People Paperback - 131 pages (January 2000) Harrington Park Pr; ISBN: 156023122X *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People helps you look past the stereotypical picture of violence against sexual minorities--the public physical assaults on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth by hyper masculine male thugs--and directs you towards the many daily acts of quiet violence that go on, unhindered, in the workaday settings of our legal, social, education, and law-enforcement institutions. You'll learn about the frightening prevalence of complacency, homophobic ignorance, and apathy that pervades our police departments, courts, high schools, and churches. Also, armed with this critical insight and statistical research, you'll be better equipped to wage a nonviolent war of fairness and mutual respect against the daily, senseless violence of policy and practice that threatens to render gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people unwelcome and battered citizens in their own communities."

	All Books by Lisa M. Tillmann-Healy - Author of : Between Gay and Straight: Understanding Friendship Across Sexual Orientation Textbook Binding - 240 pages (April 26, 2001) Altamira Pr; ISBN: 0759101116 "GLBT Studies; It started as a class project-- a young, married, small-town white woman interviewing a gay acquaintance and his circle of friends. From this developed a three year exploration of the complexities of carrying on gay-straight friendships. This reflexive, thoughtful, and compellingly-written study moves from gay bars to softball leagues to visits with families and friends, both gay and straight. During its course, the author develops a growing understanding of the differences between the two communities, the difficulties of developing bonds across groups, and the inherent rewards of seeking (and being) the Other in contemporary society. She explores sexuality, marriage, lifestyles, and the meanings of friendship, culminating in a boisterous dissertation defense attended by her new community of friends. As a study of a gay community, a narrative of personal development and change, and an exploration of the use of friendship in conducting research that transforms both participants and researcher, Tillmann-Healy's work will be compelling reading for scholars, students, and the broader community."

	All Books by Gerald Unks - Author of : The Gay Teen: Educational Practice and Theory for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Adolescents Paperback - 250 pages (April 1995) Routledge; ISBN: 0415910951 "GLBT Studies; Written by and for gay and straight educators, The Gay Teen explores gay student adolescence from discursive, practical and theoretical perspectives. The volume introduces and sensitizes educators to the complexities of gay identity and sets forth some of the issues facing gay youth in high schools. Contributors survey "gay-friendly" curricula in a number of subject areas, including literature, sex education, sports and social studies. Vital teaching strategies, intervention techniques and staff training recommendations form an integral part of the analyses and are designed to help teachers and counselors better address the academic and psychological needs of gay students and redress homophobia in the school setting. The Gay Teen also showcases the pioneering safe spaces that educators have created for students--gay as well as straight--who are struggling to forge sexual identities during the tough years of adolescence."

Do we have the right to operate on hermaphrodite children? Gay, straight, bisexual, transsexual—the world is changing for sexual minorities. In some countries, the battle for sexual equality is bearing fruit in non-discriminatory legislation; in many others, gay people risk long prison sentences or even, as in Saudi Arabia or Iran, the death penalty. The No-Nonsense Guide to Sexual Diversity surveys the hidden history and geography of sexually unconventional behavior. And it explores the reasons behind the war being waged against sexual non-conformists by religious fundamentalists, be they Christian, Muslim or Hindu. This guide also contains an indispensable country-by-country survey of the laws affecting sexual minorities." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
