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.

  • HIV Infection, AIDS, and Cancer
    cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 HIV Infection, AIDS, and Cancer People with HIV infection or AIDS are at higher risk for some types of cancer than people who are not infected. Here we will discuss the risks of certain cancers in people with HIV infection or AIDS, what tests these people might need to look for cancers early, and how these cancers are generally treated. ● What Are HIV and AIDS? ● How Are HIV and AIDS Related to Cancer? ● What Can People with HIV or AIDS Do to Try to Lower Their Risk of Cancer or Find It Early? ● How Is Cancer Treated in People with HIV or AIDS? What Are HIV and AIDS? Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, better known as AIDS, is caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. Over time, the virus attacks and destroys the body’s immune system (the system that protects the body from disease). Without a fully working immune system, a person is at risk for getting other infections that usually don’t affect healthy people. These are called opportunistic infections. People with HIV also have a greater risk of getting certain types of cancer, such as Kaposi sarcoma1, lymphoma2, and cervical cancer3, as well as other health problems. Many of these problems can threaten life. 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 More than 1 million people in the United States are now living with HIV infection, and nearly 500,000 are living with AIDS. Women account for about 1 out of 4 people infected with HIV in this country.

  • Toward a Gender-Inclusive Hevra Kadisha
    Toward A Gender-Inclusive Hevra Kadisha 1 Tahara I’m wondering about you, chevra kadisha, the “holy society,” who will prepare my body, once I’m no longer in it, for the earth. Will you know me already, or see me for the first time as you wash and shroud me, as my father was washed and dressed in simple white tachrichim, for those about to stand before God. Perhaps by then I’ll know if I believe in God. I like the democratic nature of the shroud, an equalizing garment. You may see a body that surprises you. You may not have seen a man’s body like this one before you, which I hope is very old, wrinkled, and (since I’m wishing) fit, muscled as much as an old man can be. You’ll see scars. Ragged dog bit forearm, elbow my father picked gravel from over the sink, then flushed with foaming iodine, and the long double horizons on my chest, which trunked my body like a tree. If I am unexpected, let me not seem grotesque to you, as I have to many people, perhaps even my own parents, and others whose highest kindness was to say nothing. Please let me return to dust in peace, as the others did, and recite those beautiful psalms, remembering, as you go about your holy ritual, how frightening it is to be naked before another, at the mercy of a stranger’s eyes, without even any breath. -Miller Oberman Copyright © 2019 by Miller Oberman Originally published in Poem-a-Day on December 10, 2019, by the Academy of American Poets.
