Beyond any- thing, beyond labels of sexuality and gender, people of the LGBTQ+ community wish to be addressed as noth- ing less than equal in the workplace, in marriage, and in every other facet of society. However, many LGBTQ+ people still consistently face discrimination throughout their everyday lives, from demeaning jokes and stereo- types to the denial of their basic human rights. Many feel the need to conceal their identities, and as a result they become hidden in plain sight. Seeing the LGBTQ+ student population at LGHS and in the world at large, we, the PAWS staff, decided to highlight the LGBTQ+ community and the struggles they face, both in realizing their own identities and in con- fronting the subsequent societal pressures. Our goal: to foster solidarity and acceptance for people of all sexu- alities and genders. 1 What is LGbtq+ By cameron wehr and alex niles Since the late 1960s, the label really a necessary part of LGBTQ+ movement has normal- the modern identity; the right to ized sexual and gender expres- be undefined is implicit in the sion beyond the heterosexual “Q” of the acronym.

By understand- ing the long road to tolerance and more rights for individuals in this group, more people can become aware of how their actions and words affect LGBTQ+ persons around them. 1945 - People who identify as homosexual remain in concentration camps despite liberation from the Allied forces because part of the Ger- man criminal code states that homosexual relationships are illegal along with underage sex, abuse, and bestiality December 15, 1950 - Federal and state governments investigated and dismissed thousands of employees believed to be gay or lesbian be- cause they were considered a “security threat.” This time period is often referred to as the “Lavender Scare” 1952 - Christine Jorgensen undergoes a sex change, becoming the first American to do so. She was considered to be one of the first openly trans- gender people represented in the media July 1961 - Illinois is the first state to tear down laws that criminalize ho- mosexuality June 28, 1969 - Police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, in New York City, creating tension in the relationship between queer individuals and the police. Protests sprung up from this event, causing fighting for three days, and the Stonewall Riots are seen as a turning point in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights June 28, 1970 - On the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, peo- ple march through the streets of New York City in remembrance, creating 5 Christopher Street Liberation Day and forming what is considered the first gay pride parade January 1, 1973 - Maryland is the first state to ban gay marriage June 24, 1973 - A prominent gay bar in New Orleans, called the Upstairs Lounge, is intentionally burned to the ground with people inside it. 32 people died inside the building and this fire is considered as the deadli- est attack on the LGBTQ+ community in America 1975 - Minneapolis passes a law to stop discrimination

Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Identity Formation Michele J
    1 Shifting Sands or Solid Foundation? Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Identity Formation Michele J. Eliason and Robert Schope 1 Introduction How do some individuals come to identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender? Is there a static, universal process of identity formation that crosses all lines of individual difference, such as sexual identities, sex/gender, class, race/ethnicity, and age? If so, can we describe that process in a series of linear stages or steps? Is identity based on a rock-solid foundation, stable and consistent over time? Or are there many identity formation processes that are specific to social and historical factors and/or individual differences, an ever- shifting landscape like a sand dune? The field of lesbian/gay/ bisexual/transgender (LGBT) studies is characterized by competing paradigms expressed in various ways: nature versus nurture, biology versus environment, and essentialism versus social constructionism (Eliason, 1996b). Although subtly different, all three debates share common features. Nature, biology, and essentialistic paradigms propose that sexual and gender identities are “real,” based in biology or very early life experiences and fixed and stable throughout the life span. These paradigms allow for the development of linear stages of development, or “coming out,” models. On the other hand, nurture, environment, and social constructionist paradigms point to sexual and gender identities as contingent on time and place, social circumstances, and historical period, thus suggesting that identities are flexible, vari- able, and mutable. “Queer theory” conceptualizations of gender and sexuality as fluid, “performative,” and based on social-historical con- texts do not allow for neat and tidy stage theories of identity develop- ment.

  • Pride Politics: a Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    Pride Politics: A Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Alberta ©Randi Nixon, 2017 ii Abstract: This dissertation explores the affective politics of pride in the context of neoliberalism and the multitude of way that proud feelings map onto issues of social justice. Since pride is so varied in both its individual and political manifestations, I draw on numerous instances of collective pride to attend to the relational, structural and historical contours of proud feelings. Given the methodological challenges posed by affect, I use a mixed- method approach that includes interviews, participant observation, and discourse analysis, while being keenly attuned to the tension between bodily materiality and discursivity. Each chapter attends to an “event” of pride, exploring its emergence during particular encounters with collective difference. The project fills a gap in affect theory by attending to the way that proud feelings play a vital role in both igniting the political intensity necessary to bring about change (through Pride politics), and blocking or extinguishing possibilities of respectful dialogue and solidarity across gendered, sexual, and racial difference. Across the chapters, pride is used as a conduit through which the complexity of affective politics can be examined. The proud events around and through which each chapter is structured expose paths of affect and its politics. Taken together, the chapters provide an initial blueprint for navigating contemporary affective politics. Through an examination of the discursive rendering of pride, I find that, across several literatures, two key characteristics of pride are its deep relationality between individuals and collectives, and the way it circulates, is managed, and emerges in relation to social hierarches and the value attached to political categories (race, class, gender, ability).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Cathlene E. McGraw for the degree of Master of Science College Student Services Administration on May 1, 2006 Title: A Qualitative Study of Experiences of Resistance to Homosexuality in Heterosexual Identified Students Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________________ Jessica E. White Two decades of literature from national college student climate reports measuring student attitudes toward people who are lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender (LGBT) indicate, “anti-GLBT intolerance and harassment has been prevalent” (Rankin, 2003). This study seeks to explore the determinants of such attitudes and explore the life contexts of students’ processes by which they came to hold such attitudes through a qualitative interview approach. The eight themes that emerged from the interviews reflect participants’ own voices and their worldviews about LGBT people. These themes inform a framework of general recommendations for student affairs programming efforts to reduce homophobia and resistance to LGBT people and lifestyles throughout campus. © Copyright by Cathlene E.
