13 VERY GAY AND VERY GOOD BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ THIS PRI MONTH

- Hundreds of Kosovo people marched along the ma street durg a Gay para mandg "eedom" and "equal rights" the patriarchal and Mlim majory untry wh ltle tolerant views on sexualy. 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Rts, the unofficial start of the Gay Rights Movement.

This is distct om the 1966 ‘Sip-In’, when a group of gay men, led by Lesch, refed to leave the fellow Greenwich Village (now) gay bar Juli’ bee they were nied a drk. “Punks, Bulldagers, and Queens: The Radil Potential of Queer Polics, ”GLQ: A Journal of Lbian and Gay Studi vol. In terms of them, has a lot to do wh topics across the sexual and genr spectm, so gayns, homosexualy, lbian history.

But also vers nflicts wh the queer spectm, wh the LGBT field, the discsns about trans-exclive femism, and how the gay liberatn movement the 1970s at some pot began to exclu genr non-bary figur, genr transgrsive people, trans* people, and how they were then forced to form their own movement. And then there is that tastrophe that she dat to 1973, one paradigmatic moment when Sylvia Rivera had to fight for her right to speak at a Christopher Street day gay pri para. So this is the moment where—at least that’s Stryker’s analysis—the ways part of the trans* movement and the gay liberatn movement, and also the lbian femist movement.

THE GAY SCIENCE (DOVER THRIFT EDNS: PHILOSOPHY) PAPERBACK – MAY 21, 2020

Later on, Stryker scrib this moment the 1990s, where thgs e together aga, where queer theory wh the ntributns of Eve Sedgwick, Judh Butler and Gayle Rub plays a major part, where sex worker activism, sex-posive femism, play a major part and where—and I fd this very nvcg—the ter plays a major part. All that ntribut to new dienc across divis between trans*, gay, lbian, and also whe and people of lour activism. Matt Houlbrook fish 1957, the moment when the Wolfenn Report was published, when discsns about legal reform beg the UK, which ultimately lead to the reform of the Sexual Offenc Act 1967, and the partial crimalisatn of male homosexualy.

He talks about sex public spac, parks, bathho, and about an emergg mercial culture of gayns the 1920s and ’30s, which affords more and more opportuni for people who uld afford to accs those spac, like the bathho, but also f, and other plac like that. He not only looks at how the police tried to ntrol those spac—how the police sent pla-cloth officers to entrap gay men, men lookg for sex wh other men urals and parks—but also how same-sex sirg men fed new spac for themselv.

Did what you’re scribg amount to some kd of unified queer culture London prr to the partial legalisatn of homosexualy 1967?

GAY AND LBIAN STUDI

So there was an exploative relatnship between middle class homosexuals and workg class or lower class htlers. That also then leads to his ncln, movg to discsns about the partial crimalisatn, where he talks about the succsful attempt to tablish somethg like a rpectable middle-class homosexual, performg tradnal masculy, who needs to be protected om all those foreign, non-whe, lower class htlers and blackmailers, who threaten to unrme his class-based rpectabily.

Extraordary that even the legalisatn of homosexualy should be driven by issu of class Bra, more than anythg else.

SEXUAL ETHICS AND POSTMORNISM GAY RIGHTS PHILOSOPHY

Anythg that happened before that was only emergent at bt, but never reached the anized lobbyg power that was behd the drive to crimalize homosexualy later on.

That is a book that I chose bee tak to black gay history, and brgs up the qutn of tersectnaly between anti-racist stggl and anti-homophobic stggl. But I thk the book do fely manage to e up wh a very sophistited view of black gay activism, and black gay activists, between what often has been scribed as the homophobia of civil rights activism… There was this kd of excln of homosexuals om the black civil rights movement.
