The author argues that Minaj’s complex assemblage of public personae functions as a sort of “bait and switch” on the laws of normativity, where she appears to perform as “straight” or “queer,” while upon closer examination, she refuses to be legible as either. Rather than perpetuate notions of Minaj as yet another pop diva, the author proposes that Minaj signals the emergence of the femmecee, or a rapper whose critical, strategic performance of queer femininity is inextricably linked to the production and reception of their rhymes.

A Different Kind of Closet: Queer Censorship in U.S. LGBTQ+ Movements since World War II By James Martin Abstract: Since World War II, there has been an increased visibility of LGBTQ+ communities in the United States; however, this visibility has noticeably focused on “types” of queer people – mainly white, middle class, cisgender gays and lesbians. History remembers the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots as the catalyst that launched the movement for gay rights and brought forth a new fight for civil and social justice. This paper analyzes the restrictions, within LGBTQ+ communities, that have been placed on transpersons and gender nonconforming people before and after Stonewall. While the riots at the Stonewall Inn were demonstrative of a fight ready to be fought, there were many factors that contributed to the push for gay rights.

You can never change that no matter what you do to me.” Her activism has been Felicia Elizondo is a self-described “Mexican spitfire, screaming queen, pioneer, crucial in raising legend, icon, diva, 29-year survivor of AIDS and Vietnam veteran.” Her activism has public awareness of been crucial in raising public awareness of transgender rights and history. transgender history. Elizondo was born in San Angelo, Texas. Assigned male at birth, she knew she was “feminine” from the age of 5. Due to the lack of awareness of transgender people, Elizondo grew up believing she was gay. She was sexually assaulted by an older man and suffered bullying and name calling from her peers. At age 14, Elizondo moved with her family to San Jose, California. Around the age of 16, she found refuge at Gene Compton’s Cafeteria in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, where she became a regular. It was one of the few places in the city where drag queens and transgender women could congregate publicly. In 1966, three years before Stonewall, it became the site of one of the first LGBT riots in U.S. history. The Compton’s Cafeteria riot was led by a group of transgender women against police harassment. Elizondo joined the Navy at age 18 and volunteered to serve in Vietnam. She decided, “If the military couldn’t make me a man, nothing would.” While serving, she realized she would always be attracted to men and told her commanding officer that she was gay.

Synopsis Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight tells the astounding life story of San Francisco living legend Vicki Marlane, still strutting it onstage at 74. Vicki takes us on the ride of her life — from cross-dressed rollerskating in her youth to working the carnival sideshows circuit in the 1950s, from the wild years of San Francisco in the 1970s, to survival in the 1980s and her legendary performances at Aunt Charlies, where she continues to perform today. Through video documentation of Marlane’s performances, archival images of her glory days, and first-person interviews with Marlane and her circle of friends, fans and co-workers, Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight tells the remarkable story of America’s oldest professional transgender entertainer. Vicki recounts her childhood as a poor Minnesota farm boy who ran away, more than half a century ago, to work as a “hoochie-coochie dancer” and performer in traveling carnival sideshows. Marlane eventually worked her way up into big-time show business as a “female impersonator,” starting out in mafia-controlled nightclubs in Chicago back when lip-synching was still known as “record pantomime.” By the late 1950s, she was performing in drag acts across the nation, and by the mid-1960s, Vicki was a headliner at some of San Francisco’s wildest nightspots.
