Abstract: With hir dying breath, communist thinker Leslie Feinberg purportedly uttered, "Hasten the Revolution!"1 As hir2 dying words insist, hir life was characterized by political struggle. The notion of hastening the revolution announces the twin imperatives of Feinberg's thought: the conjoined projects of identity formation and coalition-building. For Feinberg, the concrete possibility of revolutionary change demanded the forging of alliances among those who do not share a common identity, but rather those who share a common goal of emancipation. Any robust understanding of Feinberg's queer communism must necessarily be thought of as intersectional because, like intersectionality, both identity transformation and ... Read More

Abstract: I began gaming when I was about six years old and have considered myself "a gamer" since I was fifteen. The idea of identifying as "a Gaymer" did not occur to me, however, until I was about twenty-seven. The term began popping up more frequently in the social games I was playing, no longer as an insult, but as an expression of self-identification. I realized that "Gaymer" pointed to the existence of a community in which I belonged. I was excited, as I never fully felt that I belonged, neither in the gay nor gaming communities. When I told a straight gamer friend that I now identified as a Gaymer and had found this new community, he responded, "Why can't you just play' Why can't you leave the gay out of it' What ...

Abstract: The data include television episodes, webisodes, DVD special features, tie-in novels, published interviews, professional criticism, fan fiction, and fan video. The analysis concludes with how transnormative nationalism reterritorialized in the Manning controversy.In Terrorist Assemblages, Jasbir Puar introduces the concept of homonationalism as an analytic for a sociohistorical moment of seeming contradictions in gay politics.1 Since the book's first edition in 2007, several scholars have theorized the relation between homonationalism and transgender politics by examining nonfictional texts from 2007 onward. That scholarship most often explores the controversy surrounding US transparency activist Chelsea Manning's ... Read More

Abstract: In recent years, and especially since the legalization of so-called "same-sex" marriage in much of the Global North, North America especially has seen a burgeoning inclusive wedding sector, consisting of wedding vendors and media seeking to counter the cisheteronormative history of the wedding industry with services for and representations of queer-identifying and gender-diverse people—and people of color, fat people, and disabled people—all of whom are marginalized within the conventional wedding industry. Given the gendered and heterosexist culture of weddings, the attempt to reengineer the "wedding imaginary"1 is particularly novel and deserving of scrutiny by feminist and queer analysts.As scholars of fashion ...

Abstract: The data underlying this article cannot be shared publicly due to the privacy of individuals that participated in the study.Sports are a major realm of struggle for queer world-making. This ranges from the community-building of recreational sport teams offering "spaces of inclusivity and an alternative to heteronormativity and cissexism"1 to martial arts practice providing "an empowering and inclusive context" for transgender participants.2 At least 168 out lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ)3 athletes participated in the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics. This marked advancement for sexual and gender minorities in sport, but, as CNN reported, "there are limits to inclusion."4 Sport is a site of ... Read More

Abstract: So today I started my first story. About a mute 17-year-old whose father is afraid of him sexually becuz the boy has homo tendencies & strong ones. So the father takes to abusing the boy which gives him [the father] sexual pleasure. He makes the boy strip and the father beats him with a leather strap.—When I think of stuff like this, I get all kind of wet stuff in my underpants. I dunno what it is but I once read in a magazine that the stuff emitted in masturbation wasn't harmful.I continue to believe that our best political hopes for the future lie in finding common ground and building coalitions based on mutual respect and appreciation of differences and that the best intellectual work is able to accommodate ...

Abstract: In the first two decades of the twenty-first century, there were several stories in the popular media about Black men's and boys' experiences of childhood sexual violence, including but not limited to CNN anchor Don Lemon, the unnamed victims of the Jerry Sandusky case at Pennsylvania State University, athletes Laveranues Coles and Sugar Ray Leonard, actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry, and gospel recording artists Tonèx and Donnie McClurkin.1 We might consider these stories part of the cacophony of trauma narratives that have permeated the popular media in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries.2 Indeed, stories of pain and sexual scandal have long been big sellers in our media-saturated society.3 However ...

Abstract: To say that transsexual autobiography is chrononormative is not necessarily to say that it is bad but … transgender lives may require mixed strategies—not only healing and an achieved coherence but also the ability to represent and to inhabit temporal, gendered, and conceptual discontinuities.Isaac Julien's 1989 film Looking for Langston begins with a funeral. In this scene, the camera looks down at Julien's face as he lays in a casket, wreathed with flowers. Although Julien's styling and the name of the film suggest that Julien is here meant to be Langston Hughes, that this is Langston's funeral, the framing voice-over is drawn from Toni Morrison's eulogy for James Baldwin. In this moment, then, the three men are ... Read More

It's been interesting to watch the COVID pandemic policies in British Columbia—some of our public health leaders still do not really accept that airborne transmission has been the principal route of transmission for COVID. This is especially interesting because BC has also been a global leader in HIV clinical trials. The HIV scientists here would say that they are the ones who first to trial and then implemented "treatment as prevention"—initially ... Read More

Abstract: In their 2021 book Forget Burial: HIV Kinship, Disability, and Queer/Trans Narratives of Care, Marty Fink cites AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz's famous statement during a 1988 protest: "If I die of AIDS—forget burial—just drop my body on the steps of the F.D.A" (13). Fink's title invokes this moment as emblematic of the interconnectedness of sick bodies and activist challenges to the neoliberal state. This example moved me as I thought about the assignment to write a review of works engaging the subject of queer generosity and ended up reviewing books specifically about queer care kinship networks and mutual aid. If generosity refers to a spirit of openness toward otherness and a willingness to contribute to ... Read More

Abstract: The historical depiction of queer characters has comprised mere suggestions or hints at the possibility of queer relationships. These moments of "mass culture queerness" have lived in the "shadowy realm of connotation," becoming a metaphorical closet that, "allows straight culture to use queerness for pleasure and profit in mass culture without admitting to it."1 However, in the collection New Queer Horror Film and Television, editors Elliott-Smith and John Edgar Browning determine that over the past two decades, horror films and television shows have found success through the implicit or explicit depictions of queerness. As we enter an enlightened age of queer acceptance, the representations of queer characters ... Read More

Abstract: Over the past decade various events in the United States have provoked a renewed focus on social activism. Social movements related to racial justice, environmental activism, women's rights, affordable housing, LGBTQ+ rights, gun control, and labor rights, to name just a few, have dominated mainstream news reporting and social media postings. This attention has also engendered a conversation about coalition building and the ways in which groups can leverage their relative relation to power to not only help their own causes, but also to bring awareness and attention to other marginalized groups. These moments of activism are often assumed to be in conversation with one another, but in reality the connection between ... Read More

Abstract: Atmospheres of Violence centers a conversation about trans, queer, and/or gender-nonconforming people of color (un)governability in a time of intense (in)visibility within the United States. Given the prevalence of neoliberal and right-wing practices of gender binaries and white supremacy, Eric A. Stanley's introduction historicizes trans activism and reminds readers that racialized, gendered violence has been foundational to US history and development. If the United States has been built on violence, the state monopolizes violence to protect itself and any suspicion of utilizing violence. Stanley tackles the neoliberal agenda of advancement, visibility, and equality, and how it preserves violence while ... Read More

Abstract: Is there a "queer soul" lurking beneath the multiplicitous names that we give to nonnormative sexual and gender identities—and what if that "soul" could be released with the aid of a little brown bottle' This provocative question is at the heart of Adam Zmith's Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures, a highly readable and playfully digressive blend of queer history, material culture studies, and personal reflection. Amyl nitrite (and related alkyl nitrites) is an inhaled vasodilator—first available in paper-wrapped glass vials (hence the name "poppers") and later in plastic bottles—that relaxes the soft musculature and produces temporary euphoria. Its therapeutic uses, as a treatment for angina ... Read More

Abstract: Queer nightlife serves as a vital entrance to much of queer culture and provides locations for queer people to explore their identities and to learn how to behave and perform as queer people. Queer nightlife has, for me, been a source of inspiration, information, and community, especially given that I moved to a large city during the COVID-19 pandemic, making queer nightlife one of the few (and limited) ways I was able to meet other queer folk. As a queer trans woman married to an asexual cis woman, I have many mixed feelings toward queer nightlife, the discussions that surround the performance of queerness, and the exclusion of many queer bodies from many popular gay and lesbian bars and nightclubs. I have ... Read More

Abstract: This monograph examines the systematic subjugation of the Hijra community of colonial India by the North-Western Province (NWP) of British India. In particular, Hinchy discusses the etymology of Hijra, explaining the Northern Indian term to describe an assigned male-at-birth person who adopts a more feminine gender presentation, including wearing women's clothing, jewelry, and engaging in feminine grooming practices. Hinchy uses the term Hijra throughout her work and feminine pronouns for Hijra members, contending that these decisions align most with the authentic language customs of the community. This book investigates why the nonnormative gender presentation of the Hijra was considered counterproductive to ... Read More
