ENVIOS A TODO EL MUNDO
The Beautiful Room Is Empty By Edmund White
Ballantine Books - 1989
When the narrator of White’s poised yet scalding autobiographical novel first embarks on his sexual odyssey, it is the 1950s, and America is "a big gray country of families on drowsy holiday." That country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising–and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink–The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age.
"With intelligence, candor, humor–and anger–White explores the most insidious aspects of oppression…. An impressive novel."–Washington Post book World
The hero experienced the pains of growing out of adolescence and struggles to come to terms with his homosexuality and desire for power as society moves from the constrained 1950s to the expressive 1960s
Disorienting Sexuality: Psychoanalytic Reappraisals of Sexual IdentitiesEdited By Thomas Domenici, Ronnie C. Lesser
Disorienting Sexuality exposes the biases against gay men and lesbians in psychoanalytic theory and practice. In the introduction, Domenici and Lesser draw a brief history of anti-homosexual sentiment in psychoanalysis. The book then moves into essays written by lesbian and gay psychoanalysts seeking to have a voice in the reshaping of psychoanalytic theories of sexuality. The second section is devoted to presenting different theoretical perspectives for understanding both homosexuality and heterosexuality. Disorienting Sexuality concludes with the personal narratives of gay and lesbian psychoanalysts.
Coming Out Through Fire: Surviving The Trauma Of Homophobia
by Leanne McCall Tigert
United Church Press - 1999
Ellen DeGeneres and other public figures have broadened mainstream understanding and acceptance of homosexuality. But in churches across the United States, lesbians and gays are condemned to hell or are considered sinners beyond repair. They encounter people who are homophobic, and these recurring rejections cause serious psychological and spiritual side effects.Coming Out through Fire takes an intimate look at the trauma of being lesbian, gay, or bisexual in a heterosexual world. Discussing the trials that these persons endure every day, Leanne Tigert examines the church, the effects of HIV and AIDS, and family issues -- and provides hope by offering a new life that will allow recovery from the trauma inflicted by church and society.
Coming Out through Fire is for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons who seek to move through the trauma of homophobia with the passion and power of transformation. It is also for pastors, therapists, and other helping professionals who seek to confront prejudice and fear and to further the process of healing and recovery in the church and wider community.
Sex and reasonby Richard A. Posner
Harvard University Press - 1997
Sexual drives are rooted in biology, but we don't act on them blindly. Indeed, as the eminently readable judge and legal scholar Richard Posner shows, we make quite rational choices about sex, based on the costs and benefits perceived. Drawing on the fields of biology, law, history, religion, and economics, this sweeping study examines societies from ancient Greece to today's Sweden and issues from masturbation, incest taboos, date rape, and gay marriage to Baby M. The first comprehensive approach to sexuality and its social controls, Posner's rational choice theory surprises, explains, predicts, and totally absorbs.
Third Sex, Third Gender: Beyond Sexual Dimorphism in Culture and HistoryEdited by Gilbert Herdt
Zone Books - 1996
These eleven essays in history and anthropology offer a novel perspective on these debates by questioning the place of sexual dimorphism in culture and history. In the 1990s, questions of sex roles and individual identity have taken a central position in intellectual debates. These eleven essays in history and anthropology offer a novel perspective on these debates by questioning the place of sexual dimorphism in culture and history. They propose a new role for the study of alternative sex and gender systems in cultural science, as a means of critiquing thinking that privileges standard male/female gender distinctions and rejects the natural basis of other forms of sexuality.The essays cover a wide range of times and cultures, starting in the Byzantine Empire and moving eclectically forward, with a special focus on the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The anthropological studies include the Native American berdache, the Indian Hijras caste, hermaphrodites in Melanesia, third genders in Indonesia and the Balkans, and transsexuals in America.Third Sex, Third Gender emphasizes desires on the margins of society, and pleasures and bodies outside the assumed arenas of social reproduction. It opens up the possibility of understanding in new ways how, for example, Byzantine palace eunuchs and the Hijras of India met the criteria of special social roles that necessitated self-castration, and how heartfelt yet forbidden desires were expressed among seventeenth-century Dutch Sodomites, the Mollys of eighteenth-century England, and the Intermediate Sex or so-called hermaphrodite-homosexual of nineteenth-century Europe and America.

Queer Science: The Use and Abuse of Research into Homosexuality
by Simon LeVay
What makes people gay, lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual? And who cares? Written by one of the leading scientists in the research of sexual orientation, Queer Science looks at how scientific discoveries about homosexuality influence society's attitude toward gays and lesbians, beginning with the theories of the German sexologist and gay-rights pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld and culminating with the latest discoveries in brain science, genetics, endocrinology, and cognitive psychology.
