GAY AND LGBT+ LOGOS

POSTGAY

As our age note on the term stat, “up until 1973, homosexualy was listed The Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Mental Disorrs (DSM), psychiatry’s standard reference on the classifitn of mental illns. And many feel that this word plac undue emphasis on sexual activy, or that sounds overly clil.” In fact, the term homosexual was liberately rejected by early gay rights activists bee, acrdg to The New York Tim, “they did not want to be intified as exclively sexual begs.”. Gay, on the other hand, n be ed to scribe a person of any genr who experienc same-sex attractn, although is most often ed to scribe a man who is attracted to men.

On June 28, 1969, the New York Cy police raid the Stonewall Inn, a bar equented by gay and genr-nonnformg people (at a time when terms like LGBTQ didn’t yet exist). Partially rponse to Stonewall, 1970, queer activists New York Cy anized a march to Central Park wh the theme “Gay Pri.” A more prehensive history of the Stonewall Rt or the Stonewall Uprisg n be found our Pri Month explaer. Queer lerally means “strange or odd om a nventnal viewpot,” and by at least by the late 1800s, queer was ployed as a rogatory term for an effemate or gay man.

If people are faiar wh any terms at all, I would gus most people know about the acronym LGBT — which stands for ‘lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr’. This article reviss a central te the rearch on gay inty: namely, that dtrial palism “created” gay inty and set the stage for the morn lbian and gay movement the Uned Stat. Specifilly, different kds of palism yield different domant unrstandgs of gay inty held by the movement over s 70-year history: reform palism created a psychiatric gay inty; social ntract palism created an “out” mory gay inty; palism--crisis created a centered and ntted gay inty; and neoliberal palism created a domtited and nsumerist gay inty.

Rather than viewg gay inty and the movement through the prism of rourc, opportuni, social works, and social nstctn, the article argu that the procs are bt subsumed unr the broar bric of palist polil artículo revisa una doctra central en la vtigación sobre la intidad gay: ncretamente, aquel que dice que el palismo dtrial “creó” la intidad gay y tableció las bas para el movimiento gays y lbianas en los Estados Unidos.

Específimente, las diferent clas palismo produjeron terpretacn diferent la intidad gay mantenidas por su movimiento a lo largo s setenta años historia: el palismo reforma creó una intidad gay psiquiátri; el palismo ntrato social creó una intidad gay “anómala” moraria; el “palismo-en-crisis” creó una intidad gay scentrada y nflictiva; y el palismo neoliberal creó una intidad gay domtida y nsumista.

Around the world, lbian, gay, bi, trans and tersex (LGBTI) people ntue to face wispread stigma, excln and discrimatn, cludg tn, employment and health re – as well as wh hom and muni.

Origal rabow flag: In the late 70s, Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official  California, challenged activist Gilbert Baker to sign a symbol of hope for the gay muny.

IntroductnSocial acceptance of lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) people appears to be a spectacular illn that is largely propagated by the emergence of “gay-posive” reprentatns mass media. In particular, Michael Sam’s experienc as an openly gay football player, and Calyn Jenner’s transn have monopolized social media and news outlets, which beg to qutn if wispread LGBT-affirmative attus exist, and whether homophobic and transphobic discrimatn are issu of the past.

Both Wallg (2008) and Ghaziani (2011) argue that we do not ri a gay- and trans-affirmative world—a postgay utopia where unrstandg, acceptance, and celebratn are afford to all.

Such notns of postgay imagari ignore or rather downplay the persistence of (hetero/cis)normative climat and systems terms of their regulatory effects (see Wallg 2008) theory provis a lens to exame the lims and possibili of postgay as a basis for explorg the lived reali of genr, sexual, and romantic mori (GSRMs) the twenty-first century. I crique the term postgay as relat to cultural trends that regnize sexual and genr diversy, yet privilege homonormative nformy wh (hetero/cis)centric society (see Ghaziani 2011). Overall, queer theoretil perspectiv facilate the exploratn of the lims and possibili of postgay as relat to queer/trans folks livg the twenty-first century.

Throughout this chapter, the analytic and explanatory potential of postgay is explored through examg LGBT media verage and advancements GSRM human rights, postgay utopian assumptns, ntemporary youth’s intifitn choic, LGBT assiatn and diversy, and stunt-led club nam and inti (Lapote 2014, 2015). I will also reflect on my own rearch as relat to the sights of Ghaziani (2011, 2014) and Wallg (2008) to further illumate the productive aspects of postgay the liv of GSRM People: Media and Human RightsWh creasg LGBT media verage and the troductn of more equable rights for LGBT people North Ameri (e. G., anti-homophobic cls safe schools polici—see Legislative Assembly of Ontar 2015), appears as if we may be livg a postgay era where discrimatn and harassment are obsolete.

The sanctng of “same-sex marriage” or “gay marriage”—a tellg lloquial exprsn—monstrat how (mis)unrstandgs about sex and genr—on that are firmly rooted the male/female bary where sex and genr are perceived to be terchangeable—are routely employed to scribe same-genr partnerships; and how tolerance and assiatn, rather than affirmatn and celebratn, unrgird the advancement of LGBT rights North Ameri. As such, postgay “may be marked by the acceptance of a segment of gays and lbians who are genr nformg, middle class, upwardly mobile— other words, those bt able to take advantage of the benefs of assiatn and the valorizatn of a particular type of diversy” (Ghaziani 2011, p. Do postgay mean that we are livg a utopian era of gay liberatn where acceptance of genr and sexual diversy is no longer a real problem and where homophobia, heterosexism, heteronormativy, and cisgenrism no longer are issu for GSRM youth?

Due to (hetero/cis)normalcy, intifyg one’s queer sexualy, genr, and/or romantic orientatn is a fundamental aspect of youth culture, and but one of many reasons why Wallg (2008) “spect[s] that the extctn of the ‘gay adolcent’ is more distant than Sav-Williams would have believe” (p.

Moreover, schools particular are plac where normative unrstandgs of sexualy and genr circulate and are reproduced (Elltt 2015; Lville 2009), and where homophobic and transphobic prejudice and discrimatn are mon (Kosciw et al.

24–25); th, tegratg GSRMs to (hetero/cis)normative society, and heterosexualizg LGBT culture by vg GSRMs to participate circumscribed ways, monstrat how heterosexism and cisgenrism are displaced wh postgay rhetoric.

The tensns between assiative tactics, and cultural prervatn, novatn, and refn illumate the pfalls and productive potential of postgay as a nceptual tegory terms of s explanatory pacy to fe the terms of a particular queer zegeist that is characteristic of the twenty-first century. In short, by examg ntemporary queer intifitory labels the tegory postgay be more relevant twenty-first century disurse (see also Wallg 2008) Intifitn and ExprsnQueer theory provis a amework for terrogatg the lims of fixed inty tegori (Lville 2009; Sullivan 2003), and for engagg wh postgay sights as a means by which to subvert homonormativy (see Ghaziani 2014) by rejectg “labels of prev generatns” (Wallg 2008, p. Likewise, Ghaziani (2011) terrogat postracist and postgay assumptns by suggtg that, “Assiatn n mute inty as much as diversy n amplify by highlightg distctns” (p.
