While gay power is already mani- fest in places like San Francisco, and while even some small rural American towns have elected gay mayors or council members, New York Oty and New York state lag fur behind Thus, it's encouraging that an extremely qualified, able and electable member of our commu- nity is running in the Democratic primary for state Assembly this year. Deborah Glick has a long record of service, to New York. A feminist, an activist and a leader in lesbian and gay pOlitics, Glick , has a pro\>en record as someone who understands the agenda of lesbian and gay New Yorkers, and who can effectively work to implement that agenda in Albany. Currently a deputy director in the city's Department of Housing, Glick was once president of Gay and Lesbian Independent Democrats. Her electability is enhanced by the fact that her assembly district-the 61st-encompasses -much of downtown Manhattan, with its large gay, lesbian and progressive population. She has earned an impressive list of endorsers: NAACP President Hazel Dukes, Vtrginia Apuzzo, Vito Russo, Gloria Steinem, Michael Callen, the National Organization for Women and many, many others. OuIWeek is ~d to add its name to that list. But we strongly encourage our reade!S to do more than simply wait to vote for Glick in September. She fuces a grueling fight against a popular Village district leader. As a result, Glick's aunpaign needs active support, volunteers and, ~ of all, money. If you want to see an open, able, effective les- bian at the table in Albany next year, now is the time to act. The Stonewall Democratic Club One ,of the sad spectacles of gay and lesbian politics here ~ the gay political club that did ~ endorse Deborah Glick for state Assembly: the Stonewall DenXx:ratic Oub. This strange institution, claiming a member- ship of 350 but in reality conlprising only a tiny fraction of that number, has never endorsed an openly gay candidate for legislative office. Never. Stonewall's president claims that "just because a candidate is gay doesn't mean We should endorse that person." In a city that has never elected an open gay or lesbian to legislative office, that's an absurd claim for a gay political club to make. The Stonewall Democrats have no real gay agenda and minuscUle community support. They oppose gay candidates and endorse straights, because of personality clashes, jealousies and past petty ~lights; not substantive issues affecting our community's well-being. Theii entire approach is epitomized by "Stonewalling," a mean-spirited column in the New York Native, written under a cowardly pseudonym, that primarily attacks and demeans fellow gays and'lesbians working in local politics. , The dub's' members have every right to their opinions. It's just a shame that they include "Stonewall" in their title and mas- querade as organizers for the lesbian and gay community. Until they start working for the election of openly lesbian and gay can- didates, they are no such thing. 4 O~EK' AugustB.1990 Social Science reading theoretlcci works just Re: Cover Story, no. 55 (July wasn't enough for me. 18), "Weird ScIence· No-being a "show me- I am a lesbian, and as far don't tell me· kind of girt, I as I can tell, always was and wanted science.

  • Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work with Gay Men
    Article 22 Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work With Gay Men Justin L. Maki Maki, Justin L., is a counselor education doctoral student at Auburn University. His research interests include counselor preparation and issues related to social justice and advocacy. Abstract Providing counseling services to gay men is considered an ethical practice in professional counseling. With the recent changes in the Defense of Marriage Act and legalization of gay marriage nationwide, it is safe to say that many Americans are more accepting of same-sex relationships than in the past. However, although societal attitudes are shifting towards affirmation of gay rights, division and discrimination, masculinity shaming, and within-group labeling between gay men has become more prevalent. To this point, gay men have been viewed as a homogeneous population, when the reality is that there are a variety of gay subcultures and significant differences between them. Knowledge of these subcultures benefits those in and out-of-group when they are recognized and understood. With an increase in gay men identifying with a subculture within the gay community, counselors need to be cognizant of these subcultures in their efforts to help gay men self-identify. An explanation of various gay male subcultures is provided for counselors, counseling supervisors, and counselor educators. Keywords: gay men, subculture, within-group discrimination, masculinity, labeling Providing professional counseling services and educating counselors-in-training to work with gay men is a fundamental responsibility of the counseling profession (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014). Although not all gay men utilizing counseling services are seeking services for problems relating to their sexual orientation identification (Liszcz & Yarhouse, 2005), it is important that counselors are educated on the ways in which gay men identify themselves and other gay men within their own community.

  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls. HIGHLIGHTS Joining the adoring crowds at Thailand’s most famous temple, Wat Phra Kaew (p108) Escaping the tour

  • June 18, 2020 Webinar: Fat & Queer Intersections -START
    June 18, 2020 Webinar: Fat & Queer Intersections -START- Tigress Osborn (TO): Hi everyone, welcome to the newest installment of our 2020 NAAFA webinar series. I am Tigress Osborn, I am NAAFA’s Director of Community Outreach. Today we are gonna be talking about Queer and Fat identity and the intersections of those identities. I’m joined by three very special guests, but before I let them introduce themselves today, I want to just give you a little bit of information about NAAFA for those of you who may be joining us the first time and a couple of announcements and then we’ll get right on to our hosts. If you are new to NAAFA, NAAFA is the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. We are a fifty, now fifty- one year old, civil rights organization working to protect the rights of fat people. And working to improve the lives of fat people. As you can tell from our name and if you have ever encountered us out in the wild we fully believe in embracing the word “fat”. We will be using the word “fat” during this webinar, we’ll hear from our speakers about what they think about that word and other words for fat folks. But that’s what we say around these parts. Thank you for being here with us. Today’s webinar will be in English and it, there are not captions available through Free Conference. We will have a transcript of the webinar available for you at a later date. I want to tell you that we are very excited, in addition to the three fabulous folks we have today, that we have two upcoming webinars scheduled for June 26th Gloria Lucas from Nalgona Positivity Pride will be joining us to talk about colonialism and its effects on body image.

  • Media's Influence on LGBTQ Support Across Africa
    Media's Influence on LGBTQ Support across Africa∗ Stephen Winklery July 14, 2019 This manuscript is forthcoming in the British Journal of Political Science. Abstract Political leaders across Africa frequently accuse the media of promoting homosexuality while activists often use the media to promote pro-LGBTQ narratives. Despite ex- tensive research on how media affects public opinion, including studies that show how exposure to certain information can increase support of LGBTQs, there is virtually no research on how media influences attitudes towards LGBTQs across Africa. I develop a theory that accounts for actors' mixed-approach to the media and show how differ- ent types of media create distinct effects on public opinion of LGBTQs. Specifically, I find that radio and television have no, or a negative, significant effect on pro-gay attitudes, whereas individuals who consume more newspapers, internet or social media are significantly more likely to support LGBTQs (by approximately 2 to 4 per cent). I argue that these differential effects are conditional on censorship of queer represen- tation from certain mediums. My analysis confirms that the results are not driven by selection effects, and that the relationship is unique to LGBTQ support but not other social attitudes. The results have important implications, especially given the growing politicization of same-sex relations and changing media consumption habits across Africa. ∗I thank Jeffrey Arnold, Chris Adolph, Sarah Dreier, Mary Kay Gugerty, Meredith Loken, James Long, Beatrice Magistro, Nyambura Mutanyi, Vanessa Quince, and Nora Webb Williams for helpful feedback on various drafts of this article. I also thank the editors and anonymous reviewers at the British Journal of Political Science for incisive and invaluable comments.

  • Concepting 6Chapter
    Chapter Concepting What’s the Big Idea? 6The word concepting usually trips up spell checkers. Usually they try to replace it with conception. We suppose in many ways it’s similar to creating new life. Another way to say it is “ideation” and “the creative process.” In this book, we’ll define concepting as the development of the Big Idea. If you have a central thought, that One Thing you can say about the product, how do you say it, and how do you show it? Concepting is the bridge between strategy and tactics, taking you from gathering facts and getting organized to creating words and pictures. At this stage in your career, you don’t have to be a great writer or an accomplished art director. But you should start working on becoming a great idea person. How to Be Creative (Concepting Strategies) You can find many theories and recommendations on how to be creative. Words of However, it’s not a nice, neat, linear process.
