How Do British Muslims Who Have Same-Sex-Attractions Negotiate Their Identity? MA Islam in Contemporary Britain 2018 Hasnan Hussain
How do British Muslims who have Same-Sex-Attractions negotiate their Identity? MA Islam in Contemporary Britain 2018 Hasnan Hussain 1 Abstract: This dissertation is the outcome of a research project I conducted exploring how five British Muslim males who have same-sex-attractions negotiate their identities. I situate this research within a wider need of amplifying the voices of same-sex-attracted British Muslims (SSABMs) who become marginalised and excluded, both within Muslim communities and within wider media discourses surrounding Islam and homosexuality. Exploring the academic literature on SSABMs, I note that academic discourses are one of the very few means through which the lives of SSABMs are honestly and representatively portrayed. However, I note that the sampling strategies utilised within this research limit the kinds of SSABM populations that can be represented in this research. I thus demonstrate how I have sought to counteract these limitations through the methodologies that I had adopted. The utilisation of these methodologies enabled me to access a diverse sample which included SSABM voices which had not been documented in the academic literature in much detail before. This had implications on the findings that I generated, and therefore affected the significance and implications which my research has for the study of SSABMs more generally. 2 Contents Page: Introduction: pg.4 Literature Review: pg.7 Methodologies: pg.13 Findings: pg. 20 Discussion: pg. 34 Conclusion: pg. 38 Bibliography: pg. 41 3 Introduction: Within the past decade, there has been an increased acceptance of same-sex-sexuality within British society (Yip 2008a:3.1). This can be seen, for example, in the passing of important legislations, such as the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientations) Regulations (2003), the Civil Partnerships Act (2004), and the Equality Act (sexual orientations) legislation (2010). -

This study investigated the effect of aversion therapy on students’ attitude towards cigarette smoking in Anambra state. one research questions guided the study and one null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The design for the study was pure experimental. The study has a population of 1800 SS 2 students in secondary school in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State. A sample of 62 SS2 students with positive attitude towards cigarette smoking was selected through purposive sampling technique. Instrument for data collection was the Cigarette Smoking Questionnaire (CSQ) developed by the researcher. Data collected were analyzed using mean and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). Findings of the study indicated that aversion therapy is ineffective in modifying cigarette smoking attitude. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that aversion should not be adopted by counsellors as treatment for modifying cigarette smoking attitude of secondary school students in Anambra state. -

Abstract Pray the Gay Away
ABSTRACT PRAY THE GAY AWAY: RHETORICAL DILEMMAS OF THE AMERICAN EX-GAY MOVEMENT by Travis Allan Webster The Ex-Gay Movement marks a contemporary, traditionally North American emergence of “reparative” therapies and ministries that attempt to convert gay men and lesbians into “straight” identities. Pray the Gay Away theorizes these reparative rhetoric(s) as arenas that create discursive spaces of tension—what I call “second closets”—for “ex-gays” in virtual and material contexts. Through digital, rhetorical analyses, this thesis investigates the performative and linguistic reactions of ex-gays exhibited in online testimonies on pro-ex-gay websites, while examining rhetoric(s) of counter-hegemonic, online communities that seek to work against the Ex-Gay Movement.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez. -

FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS OF COLONIAL BARCELONA Gustau Nerín It is hardly unusual to find people, even highly educated people, who claim Catalonia can analyse colonialism with sufficient objectivity given that it has never taken part in any colonial campaign and never been colonialist. Even though most historians do not subscribe to this view, it is certainly a common belief among ordinary people. Dissociating ourselves from colonialism is obviously a way of whitewashing our history and collective conscience. But Barcelona, like it or not, is a city that owes a considerable amount of its growth to its colonial experience. First, it is obvious that the whole of Europe was infected with colonial attitudes at the height of the colonial period, towards the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Colonial beliefs were shared among the English, French, Portuguese and Belgians, as well as the Swedes, Swiss, Italians, Germans and Catalans. Colonialist culture was constantly being consumed in Barcelona as in the rest of Europe. People were reading Jules Verne’s and Emilio Salgari's novels, collecting money for the “poor coloured folk” at missions in China and Africa and raising their own children with the racist poems of Kipling. The film industry, that great propagator of colonial myths, inflamed passions in our city with Tarzan, Beau Geste and The Four Feathers. Barcelona’s citizens certainly shared this belief in European superiority and in the white man’s burden, with Parisians, Londoners and so many other Europeans. In fact, even the comic strip El Capitán Trueno, which was created by a communist Catalan, Víctor Mora, proved to be a perfect reflection of these colonial stereotypes. -

LOVER OR CHASER: EXPLORING TRANS-FETISHIZATION in COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CISGENDER MEN and TRANSGENDER WOMEN by Jet S
LOVER OR CHASER: EXPLORING TRANS-FETISHIZATION IN COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CISGENDER MEN AND TRANSGENDER WOMEN By Jet S. Evangelista Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Erzsébet Barát Second Reader: Dr. Marianna Szczygielska Budapest, Hungary 2018 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Cisgender men have increasingly come out with stories about their intimate relationships with transgender women. However, studies on relationships between cis and trans persons have argued that trans women are critical of trans-attracted cis men. This comes from the accusation that many cisgender men fetishize transgender women. Trans-fetishization is used in this study as the fetishizing of trans women by cis men who overvalue the trans women’s transness. The exploration of trans-fetishization is done in context of committed relationships between cis men and trans women, and highlights the perspectives of cis men in the relationships. Through an analysis of the accounts shared by Filipino men in a voiced online interview, the author analyzes how fetishism may be explored in (1) the men’s motivations for entering a committed relationship, (2) their concept of an ideal woman, (3) the strategies they employ to maintain high-level of commitment, (4) and their compliance or resistance to hegemonic masculinity. The analysis reveals that men commit to relationships based on the reasons, sometimes overlapping, of material benefits, need for companionship, and the desire to move on from the dating phase by formalizing the relationship. Transness has not been a major factor and therefore, trans-fetishization cannot be accused in this context.
