  • Hormel, James C. (B
    Hormel, James C. (b. 1933) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com James C. Hormel has a distinguished record as a philanthropist and a proponent of the cause of gay rights. His nomination to become the first openly gay ambassador from the United States drew criticism from conservative groups. A handful of Republican senators managed to forestall his confirmation for almost two years. Hormel comes from a prosperous family. In 1891 his German-born grandfather, George Hormel, founded Hormel Foods, which has grown into a leading meat packing company. Among its best-known products is Spam. James Catherwood Hormel was born on January 1, 1933 in Austin, Minnesota and grew up on the family estate there. He graduated from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania with a B.A. in history in 1955. He went on to the University of Chicago Law School, where he earned his law degree in 1958. Hormel remained to teach in the law school at Chicago, eventually becoming dean of students. Hormel married in 1955, but a decade later he and his wife decided to divorce, mainly because of Hormel's sexual orientation. The couple have remained good friends, however, and Hormel has always enjoyed an excellent relationship with their son and four daughters. Hormel began a long-term relationship with artist Larry Soule in the early 1970s. The couple lived together for eighteen years. After sojourns in New York and Kauai, Hormel moved to San Francisco in 1976. There he founded Equidex, a company that manages his family's investments and philanthropic projects.

  • Not for Sale Or Redistribution
    When States Come Out In the last two decades, the LGBT movement has gained a momentum that is arguably unprecedented in speed and suddenness when com- pared to other human rights movements. This book investigates the recent history of this transnational movement in Europe, focusing on the diffusion of the norms it champions and the overarching question of why, despite similar international pressures, the trajectories of socio- legal recognition for LGBT minorities are so different across states. The book makes the case that a politics of visibility has engendered interactions between movements and states that empower marginal- ized people – mobilizing actors to demand change, inf uencing the spread of new legal standards, and weaving new ideas into the fabrics of societies. It documents how this process of “coming out” empow- ers marginalized social groups by moving them to the center of polit- ical debate and public recognition, and making it possible for them to obtain rights to which they have due claim.redistribution Phillip M.

  • The Political Influence of Homosexuals in the United States
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 11 (2000) The Political Influence of Homosexuals in the United States: Their Pattern of Action and Sources of Power Atsushi KUSANO In 1993, one important event surprised many Americans. Bill Clinton, the new Democratic president, the first in twelve years, announced that he would issue an executive order which would lift the armed forces’ ban on homosexuality. Earlier in 1992, Clinton had stressed the impor- tance of reducing the budget deficit and had called for smaller govern- ment in his Democratic nomination speech, which had been considered very much like a Republican candidate. Therefore his positive attitude towards homosexuality, which was still a divisive issue, especially in the military, was received with great surprise, and gave people a strong im- pression that he was indeed a liberal, Democratic president and an advo- cate of human rights. In this paper, I will describe the current status of the gay rights move- ment and the impediments the movement faces. I will also explain the historical background of the movement and its sources of power, in the following order. First, I will explain the social status of homosexuals in the United States, and the particular rights they are longing for. I will utilize results from public opinion polls among U.S. citizens in my explanation. Secondly, I will review the history of the gay rights movement. Homo- sexuals have existed ever since the ancient times, but the history of the gay rights movement is not very long. Merely thirty years have passed Copyright © 2000 Atsushi Kusano.
