Product Description
The Daughters of Bilitis, is the first lesbian rights organization in the United States. It was formed in San Francisco, California in 1955. The group was conceived as a social alternative to lesbian bars, which were considered illegal and thus subject to raids and police harassment. It lasted for fourteen years and became a tool of education for lesbians, gay men, researchers, and mental health professionals. As the DOB gained members, their focus shifted to providing support to women who were afraid to come out, by educating them about their rights and their history. Historian Lillian Faderman declared, "Its very establishment in the midst of witch-hunts and police harassment was an act of courage, since members always had to fear that they were under attack, not because of what they did, but merely because of who they were." ...

Homophobia
An excellent resource manual of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered psychology with a strong emphasis on their segregation from mainstream America.Includes strong literature on the structural isolation of lesbians and gay males and how the creation of a subculture leads to negative stereotypes, warped images, and fictional creations that are used to justify oppression of members of the disadvantaged group.Depicts and explains the homophobic image of homosexuals as a small, self-interested group, favoring their own, commanding a disproportionate world influence.Relates homophobia to other oppressed groups, including Jews as self-interested and cliquish, and African American males as sexual predators.The book also addresses how homophobes justify their behavior through logic and morality.Finally, it provides interesting research on reducing homophobia, including studies on contact and cooperation as means to resolve group conflict. ...

Following the success of Pink Therapy (1996 Open University Press) as a practical guide for therapists, counselors and others in related professions working with lesbian, gay and bisexual clients in affirmative ways, this volume is the first to address how this can be approached from ten of the major therapeutic perspectives. Each approach is discussed with regard to its historical and theoretical relationship to these client groups and how the approach can be beneficial or negative. guidelines for using the perspective supportively or practically are given, along with references for further study. The volume marks an important step in the dialogue between theoretical approaches and in the future development of, and debate about, these increasingly important fields in contemporary therapy. ...

Product Description
From California to Vermont, countless college students are grappling not only with grades, jobs, and student loans but with their very identity. For gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students, college can be a disorienting and lonely experience. In spite of tremendous progress over the past 20 years, the presence of GLBT clubs, and queer studies curricula, an overwhelmingly large number of them not only feel isolated, but are too afraid to do anything about it. In Out & About Campus, the first book of its kind, the courageous voices of 28 remarkable individuals, shatter this unbearable silence to provide comfort, inspiration, insight and hope. A young man prevails as the first student to create a gay and lesbian studies major at the University of Wisconsin. A self-described "queer woman of color" helps to form gay Chicano/a solidarity at Stanford. A basketball player battles homophobia on the Harvey Mudd women's team. A brave man attends the University of Texas in drag. Students in North Carolina, California, Utah, and North Dakota reconcile their sexuality with their religious beliefs, often in the face of derision and interrogation.

All of them faced down their peers, their teachers, their parents, their adminstration, and their self-doubts to carve out a place of honesty and integrity for themselves. By bravely sharing their stories, they will help others to follow in their footsteps and help to provide a truly equal opportunity for all on campuses from coast to coast.Amazon.com Review
Many of the stories in Out & About Campus are as upsetting or enraging as one would imagine, given the scenario of a queer or questioning youth thrust into a historically straight institution and surrounded by other equally insecure young people. Tales of intolerant classmates and obstructive professors abound, with the usual threats of violence, gay bashings, and episodes of self-loathing. But the gradual movement toward acceptance of "diversity" on college campuses since the mid-1980s has clearly altered the social landscape. In "Sisterhood," for instance, Stephanie J. Stillman recounts her gradual coming-out to her sorority sisters, most of whom had figured it out for themselves and none of whom condemned her as she had expected. In "Competitive College," Ruth Wielgosz explains the informal designation of "Big Dyke on Campus" at Bryn Mawr and describes the requirements for the position (as listed in the college newspaper), which begin with "(1) Has lots of attitude, very self-confident," then move on to "(5) Unattainable, or nearly so, (6) Many people have crushes on her, and many more feel too unworthy, and (7) Visually impressive, especially with regard to hair." Several contributors describe their political activism on campus and their service work for other gay students. Overall, these stories provide an encouraging look at an unprecedented cultural expansion. --Regina Marler ... Read more

Essential reading, gay or straight
Coming out of the closet is one of those things that makes one feel out in the open and sticking out like a sore thumb.You contemplate that you might be gay or bi, then finally realize that you are and come out of the closet.Right away, especially if you're anything like me, that's exactly what goes on.Surely, right off the bat, one will feel that they can't talk on the same level let alone relate to anyone.Out of curiosity, I bought this book, and read a bunch of the stories.Although not all of them are just about coming out of the closet, I could relate to a lot of the stories, and probably anyone that has ever come out and goes or has gone to college can relate to at least one of them.All in all, however, in order to get the most out of college, and an open minded perspective, I strongly recommend this collection to anyone just graduating high school and bound for college.Or, don't, and end up with everyone hating you, for you haven't outgrown the high school labeling mentality of calling every gay man a faggot.

Fascinating, Engaging, Helpful
The voices of the students come through eloquently in this engaging and fascinating book. The diversity of the GLBT experience on campus is evident. The book helps provide insight into the various experiences ofGLBT students and helps readers see the experience as not at allmonolithic. I recommend this excellent book.

Unbelievable!
As a straight college-age female, I was worried that I might not be able to identify and relate tothe experiences of the writers.As I read, however, the authors made me realize that their stories are simply an account of their struggle to do what they feel is right--a process to whichanyone can relate.I especially enjoyed the piece by the student from theUniversity of Texas, Andrew Gray.His courage and determination are trulyremarkable.Yay Andrew! ...
