  • Abstract Pray the Gay Away

    Abstract Pray the Gay Away

    ABSTRACT PRAY THE GAY AWAY: RHETORICAL DILEMMAS OF THE AMERICAN EX-GAY MOVEMENT by Travis Allan Webster The Ex-Gay Movement marks a contemporary, traditionally North American emergence of “reparative” therapies and ministries that attempt to convert gay men and lesbians into “straight” identities. Pray the Gay Away theorizes these reparative rhetoric(s) as arenas that create discursive spaces of tension—what I call “second closets”—for “ex-gays” in virtual and material contexts. Through digital, rhetorical analyses, this thesis investigates the performative and linguistic reactions of ex-gays exhibited in online testimonies on pro-ex-gay websites, while examining rhetoric(s) of counter-hegemonic, online communities that seek to work against the Ex-Gay Movement.

    Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Directions and Obje

    Name:_____________________________________ Class Period:______ Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Although the topic of homosexuality continues to ignite passionate debate and is often omitted from history discussions due to the sensitivity of the topic, it is important to consider gays and lesbians when defining and analyzing modern American identity. The purpose of this activity is to review the struggle for respect, dignity, and equal protection under the law that so many have fought for throughout American history. Racial minorities… from slaves fighting for freedom to immigrants battling for opportunity… to modern-day racial and ethnic minorities working to overcome previous and current inequities in the American system. Women… fighting for property rights, education, suffrage, divorce, and birth control. Non- Protestants… from Catholics, Mormons, and Jews battling discrimination to modern day Muslims and others seeking peaceful co-existence in this “land of the free.” Where do gays and lesbians fit in? Once marginalized as criminals and/or mentally ill, they are increasingly being included in the “fabric” we call America. From the Period 8 Content Outline: Stirred by a growing awareness of inequalities in American society and by the African American civil rights movement, activists also addressed issues of identity and social justice, such as gender/sexuality and ethnicity. Activists began to question society’s assumptions about gender and to call for social and economic equality for women and for gays and lesbians. Directions and Objectives: Review the events in the Gay Rights Thematic Review Timeline, analyze changes in American identity, and make connections to other historically significant events occurring along the way.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

    Rep. Neubauer Debuts Pride Month Bill Legislation Protects Crime Victims from Discrimination Based on Gender Or Sexual Identity

    For Immediate Release Contact: Rep. Greta Neubauer June 4, 2019 (608) 237-9166/[email protected] Rep. Neubauer Debuts Pride Month Bill Legislation protects crime victims from discrimination based on gender or sexual identity MADISON – Today, Representative Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) joined the Wisconsin Legislative LGBT Caucus and allies in releasing the 2019 Equality Agenda in honor of Pride Month. Rep. Neubauer introduced a new bill authored with Reps. Marisabel Cabrera (D-Milwaukee), Rep. Todd Novak (R-Dodgeville), and Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) eliminating the so-called “Gay” or “Trans Panic” defense. Neubauer released the following statement: “I am so proud to stand together with the LGBT Caucus and guests to bring this important legislation today,” Neubauer said. “The Equality Package represents a diversity of priorities aimed at increasing equality for our LGBTQ+ neighbors in Racine and across our state.” “I am especially proud to introduce LRB 2490 along with Representatives Cabrera and Novak and Senator Carpenter. This bill would eliminate the so-called “Gay Panic” or “Trans Panic” defense, which discriminates against crime victims based on their gender or sexual identity. It’s unacceptable today that criminal defendants can further discriminate against victims based on their LGBTQ+ identity, and I’m committed to working to end this abhorrent practice,” Neubauer concluded. Carl Hubbard, Board President of Racine’s own LGBT Center of Southeast Wisconsin, also spoke at the press conference, stating “The bills are paper. The lives that these bills will impact are real.” A Racine press conference with further details regarding LRB 2490 and the Equality Package will take place in Racine on June 17th, 2019.
  • Bureaucratic Agency: Administering the Transformation of Lgbt Rights

    Bureaucratic Agency: Administering the Transformation of Lgbt Rights

    BUREAUCRATIC AGENCY: ADMINISTERING THE TRANSFORMATION OF LGBT RIGHTS Marie-Amélie George* In the 1940s and 1950s, the administrative state served as a powerful engine of discrimination against homosexuals, with agency officials routinely implementing anti-gay policies that reinforced gays’ and lesbians’ subordinate social and legal status. By the mid-1980s, however, many bureaucrats had become allies, subverting statutory bans on gay and lesbian foster and adoptive parenting and promoting gay-inclusive curricula in public schools. This Article asks how and why this shift happened, finding the answer not in legal doctrine or legislative enactments, but in scientific developments that influenced the decisions of social workers and other bureaucrats working in the administrative state. This Article explores how changing psychiatric conceptions of homosexuality drove this legal transformation in unexpected ways, focusing on developments in criminal and family law. It traces these scientific evolutions and their impact on law through studies of sexual psychopath statutes, sodomy laws, custody cases, adoption and foster care legislation, and school curricular regulations. By the mid-1980s, mental health organizations had become vocal supporters of gay and lesbian rights, which resulted in bureaucrats undermining laws that contravened these professionals’ expert judgment. The influence of scientific evidence on bureaucrats is not just a phenomenon of the recent past, but continues today with transgender student bathroom access rights. It also has the potential to reshape how law enforcement approaches BDSM practitioners. This history reveals that science impacts not just through legislation and adjudication, but also by influencing bureaucratic discretion. It also sheds new light on how the administrative branch is an important site of legal norm formation and highlights the dynamic role of bureaucracies.

    Suicidality Disparities Between Transgender and Cisgender Adolescents Brian C. Thoma, PhD,a Rachel H. Salk, PhD,a Sophia Choukas-Bradley, PhD,b Tina R. Goldstein, PhD,a Michele D. Levine, PhD,a Michael P. Marshal, PhDa BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emerging evidence indicates transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit abstract elevated rates of suicidal ideation and attempt compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs). Less is known about risk among subgroups of TGAs because of limited measures of gender identity in previous studies. We examined disparities in suicidality across the full spectrum of suicidality between TGAs and CGAs and examined risk for suicidality within TGA subgroups. METHODS: Adolescents aged 14 to 18 completed a cross-sectional online survey (N = 2020, including 1148 TGAs). Participants reported gender assigned at birth and current gender identity (categorized as cisgender males, cisgender females, transgender males, transgender females, nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth, nonbinary adolescents assigned male at birth, and questioning gender identity). Lifetime suicidality (passive death wish, suicidal ideation, suicide plan, suicide attempt, and attempt requiring medical care) and nonsuicidal self-injury were assessed. RESULTS: Aggregated into 1 group, TGAs had higher odds of all outcomes as compared with CGAs. Within TGA subgroups, transgender males and transgender females had higher odds of suicidal ideation and attempt than CGA groups. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we used comprehensive measures of gender assigned at birth and current gender identity within a large nationwide survey of adolescents in the United States to examine suicidality among TGAs and CGAs. TGAs had higher odds of all suicidality outcomes, and transgender males and transgender females had high risk for suicidal ideation and attempt.
