    Published online 2016 www.nps.gov/subjects/tellingallamericansstories/lgbtqthemestudy.htm LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer History is a publication of the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service. We are very grateful for the generous support of the Gill Foundation, which has made this publication possible. The views and conclusions contained in the essays are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government.

No part of this publication may be reprinted or reproduced without permission from the publishers. Links (URLs) to websites referenced in this document were accurate at the time of publication. THEMES The chapters in this section take themes as their starting points. They explore different aspects of LGBTQ history and heritage, tying them to specific places across the country. They include examinations of LGBTQ community, civil rights, the law, health, art and artists, commerce, the military, sports and leisure, and sex, love, and relationships. MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Bisexual Sexual Health Resources
    The LGBT Health and Inclusion Project Locally Available Sexual Health Materials – A Consultation with Bisexual People The LGBT Health and Inclusion Project NHS Sussex and Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC), have commissioned a consortium of organisations providing services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people in the city to conduct a series of consultations with local LGBT people. The aim is to use the information gathered to feed into local service commissioning, planning and delivery. The partner agencies are: Brighton and Hove LGBT Switchboard, THT South, MindOut, Allsorts Youth Project, Brighton Bothways and the Clare Project. The consortium has employed a worker to coordinate the project, known as the LGBT Health and Inclusion Project (LGBT HIP). Please note, the following report presents information about the consultation and engagement work conducted by LGBT HIP and should not be taken as a position statement of any of LGBT HIPs Consortium partners. Background A local LGBT action-research project (Count Me In Too) presented a number of important findings in relation to sexual health and bisexual people.1 The research indicated that bisexual participants perceived that sexual health information available locally did not cater to their needs as bisexual people, and a significant proportion (28%) said that it was not appropriate to their sexual practices.2 The LGBT HIP consortium therefore identified a need to consult bisexual people about sexual health information available locally. The aim of the initiative was: 1. To consult bisexual people about their perceptions of the range of sexual health resources available locally and to make recommendations for further development.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Independent Community Advisory Board (CAB) submits its annual report reviewing the 2017 Pride in London (Pride) events. This report reflects issues raised at the CAB private review meeting held on 20 July 2017, which were based on community feedback and matters identified from CAB members’ own experiences. This year, for the first time, the CAB has also sought feedback from a range of major stakeholder organisations within the LGBT+ community. Their comments have been included, but anonymised. 1.2 The CAB is independent from the organisation of Pride. It advises the London LGBT+ Community Pride CIC (LLCP) Board and scrutinises their decisions. It provides guidance on inclusion, governance and other operational issues. Its membership is drawn from different strands of London’s LGBT+ communities with the hope of being broadly representative. The membership of the CAB at the date of this report is: • Chair: Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett • Arts and Literature: Simon Tarrant (Winter Pride) • Bisexual People's Rep: Edward Lord OBE JP (BiUK) (Deputy Chair) • Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic People's Rep: Ozzy Amir (QMSU) • Campaigning and Political Groups: Tom Wilson (LGBT Labour) • Disabled People's Rep: Vacant • Faith and Belief Groups: Vacant • Health Rep: Eleanor Barnwell (Kings College NHS Foundation Trust) • Local Groups Rep: David Robson (Wandsworth LGBT Forum) • Older People's Rep: Peter Scott-Presland (Opening

The aim is to use the information gathered to feed into local service commissioning, planning and delivery.

Please note, the following report presents information about the consultation and engagement work conducted by LGBT HIP and should not be taken as a position statement of any of LGBT HIPs Consortium partners. Introduction This report presents data from an online survey of suicidal distress among LGBT people in Brighton and Hove. In any study it is important to be precise about the issue being researched. For the purposes of this survey, suicidal distress was defined as: feelings such as despair, worthlessness and hopelessness so that the person feels that they want to end their life. Background Social hostility, stigma and discrimination experienced by LGBT people have been linked to poorer mental health outcomes.1,2 Local research conducted by Johnson, et al, gathering primarily qualitative information, identified that discriminatory practices of homophobia, transphobia and heterosexism embedded in social institutions such as education, health, religion, the media and the family were linked with suicidal distress.

  • Transgender Students
    TRANSGENDER STUDENTS The following information is borrowed from Mottet, L., & Ohle, J. (2003). Transitioning Our Shelters: A Guide to Making Homeless Shelters Safe for Transgender People . New York: The National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute. Transgender is an “umbrella” term used to describe a wide range of identities and experiences, and is used to refer to many types of people, including transsexual people; crossdressers; androgynous people; genderqueers; and other gender non-conforming people whose appearance or characteristics are perceived to be gender atypical. In its broadest sense, “transgender” encompasses anyone whose identity or behavior falls outside stereotypical gender expectations. It is important to understand that some people may identify as transgender but not fall into one of the subcategories discussed here. This publication attempts to identify many of the ways in which transgender individuals identify and express themselves, but this listing is in no way complete. Furthermore, it is particularly important to realize that many individuals, despite the fact that they may appear transgender to some, do not consider themselves to be transgender. It is important that we not label people transgender based on our perceptions, but instead use the words they use to describe themselves. All people have a gender identity. Gender identity refers to a person’s internal sense of being male, female or something else. For most people, one’s gender identity matches the sex assigned to them at birth—for example, a person born female typically identifies as a girl, and later, as a woman. For many transgender people, there may not be a match.

She was the first trans person elected to the UCU universities and colleges union’s national executive committee, 2009‑2015.

Isabel Ringrose is a journalist on Socialist Worker and member of the SWP in east London Tomáš Tengely-Evans has worked as a journalist for Socialist Worker and is a member of the party in north London. Pride, Politics and Protest: A Revolutionary Guide to LGBT+ Liberation 2nd edition by Laura Miles, Isabel Ringrose and Tomáš Tengely-Evans Published February 2021. © Socialist Worker PO Box 74955, London E16 9EJ ISBN 978 1 914143 14 4 Cover image by Guy Smallman Pride Politics and Protest 1 Introduction HE HISTORY of socialist struggles and socialist movements is also a history Tof fighting oppression. Creating a socialist society must also involve creating the conditions for ending oppression, including the oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people. Building a socialist world, run by working class people from the bottom up, requires winning masses of people to a vision of a new sort of society. It’s one where racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia are recognised for the cruel, pernicious and divisive ideas that they are. This is no easy task. Many people are torn between hopes for a better world—and a feeling that the rich and powerful who run the capitalist system are too strong to get rid of.
