  • Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia
    UPENDING THE “RACIAL DEATH-WISH”: BLACK GAY LIBERATION AND THE CULTURE OF BLACK HOMOPHOBIA A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Kailyn Pope June 2021 © 2021 Kailyn Pope ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia AUTHOR: Kailyn Pope DATE SUBMITTED: June 2021 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Andrew Morris, Ph.D. Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kathleen Cairns, Ph.D. Lecturer Emeritus of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Thomas Trice, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History iii ABSTRACT Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia Kailyn Pope This thesis analyzes the origin and impact of Black homophobia found in activist spaces of mid- to late-twentieth-century American society. Black gay Americans were subjected to intersecting forms of systemic and cultural oppression that were exceedingly hard to escape due to both the homophobia in Black spaces and the racism in gay spaces. Black gay activists and artists thus had to create their own avenues of expression where they and others could fully embrace what it meant to be Black and gay. This work utilizes a Black feminist framework to explore the roots of Black homophobia and how this type of bigotry was able to so deeply infiltrate Black activist spaces like the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Panther Party. Black homophobia originated as a response to White supremacist domination of the Black body, and was able to spread through the community for generations through paths such as hypermasculinity, the Black church, and misogynoir.

  • Narratives About Homosexuality and Access to Social Capital in the Social Ecological Systems of Black Sexual Minority Men During Secondary School
    PROFILES IN RESILIENCE: NARRATIVES ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY AND ACCESS TO SOCIAL CAPITAL IN THE SOCIAL ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF BLACK SEXUAL MINORITY MEN DURING SECONDARY SCHOOL by Matthew Messel A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2015 © 2015 Matthew Messel All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation examines the role that gatekeeper narratives about homosexuality play in controlling Black sexual minority men’s access to academically related social capital in schools, families and churches during secondary school. Gatekeeper narratives are theoretically framed within master narratives and public narratives (Somers 1994) using a social ecological systems perspective (Bronfenbrenner 1979). Master narratives are identified through previous literature on sexual and race that have taken a historical perspective. Public narratives are identified both through previous literature and through a content analysis of sermons, political speeches, voting records, and social media commentary. Forty, Black sexual minority men were interviewed about their experiences and interactions with gatekeepers (teachers, classmates, parents, religious leaders) in microsystems (schools, families and churches). Master narratives of the heterosexual-homosexual binary and sexualized racism intersect to shape the experiences of Black sexual minority men and to frame narratives about homosexuality within Black communities. A diverse set of narratives exist within Black communities and are employed by gatekeepers, but two narratives emerged in interviews as the most widespread and most likely to remove men’s access to social capital across microsystems: the “Real Man” narrative and Biblical inerrancy. The “Real Man” narrative rests on a cultural value of hegemonic masculinity, while Biblical inerrancy often upholds a form of Christianity that marginalizes sexual minority people.

Woulfe Dissertation Director: Dr. Lisa A. Goodman Intimate partner violence (IPV) and its substantial consequences remain widespread for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) individuals (Balsam, Rothblum, & Beauchaine, 2005; Walters, Chen, & Breidig, 2013). LGBTQ IPV survivors are particularly vulnerable to identity abuse: tactics leveraging heterosexism and cissexism (FORGE, 2014; NCDSV, 2014). Past research has documented the existence of LGBTQ-specific identity abuse as a unique dimension of victimization (Balsam & Szymanski, 2005; FORGE, 2014; NCDSV, 2014), with limited attention to those at greatest risk despite the diversity of the LGBTQ community. Participants who identified as LGBTQ (n = 734; 53% cisgender women; 39% queer or pansexual; 84% White; Mage = 33.48) completed surveys that assessed their exposure to identity abuse (7-items; α = .79), physical and sexual abuse (20-items; α = .89) and psychological abuse (14-items; α = .87), and other demographics.

  • THE POLITICAL CULTURE of AFRICAN AMERICAN AIDS ACTIVISM a Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board
    “DON’T WE DIE TOO?”: THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AIDS ACTIVISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Dan Royles January 2014 Examining Committee Members: Beth Bailey, Advisory Chair, History David Farber, History Bryant Simon, History Heather Thompson, History Alondra Nelson, External Member, Columbia University, Sociology © Copyright 2013 by Dan Royles All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This project reveals the untold story of African Americans AIDS activists’ fight against HIV and AIDS in black communities. I describe the ways that, from 1985 to 2003, the both challenged public and private granting agencies to provide funds for HIV prevention efforts aimed specifically at black communities, and challenged homophobic attitudes among African Americans that, they believed, perpetuated the spread of the disease through stigma and silence. At the same time, they connected the epidemic among African Americans to racism and inequality within the United States, as well as to the pandemic raging throughout the African Diaspora and in the developing world. In this way, I argue, they contested and renegotiated the social and spatial boundaries of black community in the context of a devastating epidemic. At the same time, I also argue, they borrowed political strategies from earlier moments of black political organizing, as they brought key questions of diversity, equality, and public welfare to bear on HIV and AIDS. As they fought for resources with which to stop HIV and AIDS from spreading within their communities, they struggled over the place of blackness amid the shifting politics of race, class, and health in post-Civil Rights America.
