    APPENDIX B Syphilis Case Illustrating the Application of the Manual APPENDIX B Appendix B Syphilis Case Illustrating the Application of the Manual THE SITUATION After analyzing syphilis morbidity reports and interview records, STD officials in the city of Chancri-La noticed an increase in the number of syphilis cases among men who reported having sex with men (MSM). From 1999 to 2002, the number of MSM cases had gone up, as well as the percentage of MSM cases. In 1999, there was only 1 MSM case, which represented .9% of the syphilis cases in males. By 2002, the number of MSM cases had increased to 14, and represented 29.2% of their male cases. Further analysis revealed that the cases were not concentrated in one geographic part of the city, based on the males’ residences. However, through interviews conducted by the Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS), the STD officials learned that most of the males socialized in the same area. ACTIONS TAKEN A DIS was already screening sporadically at a gay bar. To address this emerging problem, STD officials initiated meetings with six community-based organizations (CBOs) that work with the MSM community. Together, they designed a plan of action to implement jointly. One of the activities implemented was syphilis screening in different venues (i.e., bathhouses, gay bars, CBOs, mobile unit, and a gay parade). The STD director and program staff were interested in determining which of these screening approaches was more successful in reaching the target population. The following illustrates the steps involved in designing and implementing this evaluation.

While a broad LGBTQ American history is presented in the Introduction section, these chapters document the regional, and often quite different, histories across the country. In addition to New York City and San Francisco, often considered the epicenters of LGBTQ experience, the queer histories of Chicago, Miami, and Reno are also presented. QUEEREST28 LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD: LGBTQ RENO John Jeffrey Auer IV Introduction Researchers of LGBTQ history in the United States have focused predominantly on major cities such as San Francisco and New York City. This focus has led researchers to overlook a rich tradition of LGBTQ communities and individuals in small to mid-sized American cities that date from at least the late nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth century.

You made your bed. Now lie in it.' I. INTRODUCTION "Outing" is the forced exposure of a person's same-sex orientation. While techniques used to achieve this end vary,2 the most visible examples of outing are employed by gay activists in publications such as The Advocate or OutWeek,4 where ostensibly, names are published to advance a rights agenda. Outing is not, however, confined to fringe media. The mainstream press has joined the fray, immortalizing in print "the love[r] that dare[s] not speak its name."' The rules of outing have changed since its national emergence in the early 1990s. As recently as March of 1995, the media forced a relatively unknown person from the closet.6 The polemic engendered by outing * Associate Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law.

We also observed a valid MPC25 properly posted on the bank façade. Advised the WFA of the MPC25 ordnance and asked her to move away from the area of the ATM’s explaining there was also a State Law prohibiting loitering in proximity to ATM’s. At first the subject refused to comply, stating “I play here all the time and no-one ever moves me.” We repeated the reasons for us asking her to move and she again refused. We advised that we would call SFPD if she did not comply, and on a third refusal, we called the non-emergency and Patrol Special Police. Subject eventually moved to the edge of the sidewalk by the parked cars when she realized we had indeed called SFPD, but continued to play the amplified keyboard.

  • Drag Kings and the Female Embodiment of Masculinity
    Alicante Journal of English Studies 26 (2013): 129-141 This Is a Man’s World: Drag Kings and the Female Embodiment of Masculinity Asunción Aragón Varo University of Cadiz [email protected] ABSTRACT Portrayals of non-heteronormative characters have been more and more present in the mass media since the last decades of the 20th century. Gay and lesbian characters are now part of mainstream media in films, sitcoms, drama series, talk shows, etc. Apparently, this could mean that non- heteronormative identities and desires are tolerated by the general audience but this might be just so as long as these characters behave according to heteronormative standards of normality or their bodies are easily readable. The presence of trans, drags or genderqueer characters is minimal and with it the potential subversion of the heteronormative matrix. However, not all drag is subversive and therefore an inappropriate reading or decoding could end up reinforcing the same normative gender identities they intend to subvert. To understand the potential subversion of non-heteronormative characters this paper aims to analyze briefly the re/conceptualization of performativity in the work of Judith Butler, the representation of drag as a parody of gender performance, the female embodiment of masculinity and its representation in popular culture. 1. Introduction Portrayals of non-heteronormative characters have been more and more present in the mass media since the last decades of the 20th century. Gay and lesbian characters are now part of mainstream media in films, sitcoms, drama series, talk shows, etc. Their 130 Alicante Journal of English Studies presence has become not just trendy or cool, but also a magnet for ever-growing audiences, a revenue generating business in the entertainment industry.
