Title: A Queer History of the United States
Author Michael Bronski.
Impressum Boston, MA : Beacon Press. 2011 - xx, 287 p.
ISBN 9780807044391
Annotation Bibliogr.: p. 244-260.
Summary The first book to cover the entirety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history, from pre-1492 to the present. In the 1620s, Thomas Morton broke from Plymouth Colony and founded Merrymount, which celebrated same-sex desire, atheism, and interracial marriage. Transgender evangelist Jemima Wilkinson, in the early 1800s, changed her name to "Publick Universal Friend," refused to use pronouns, fought for gender equality, and led her own congregation in upstate New York. In the mid-nineteenth century, internationally famous Shakespearean actor Charlotte Cushman led an openly lesbian life, including a well-publicized "female marriage." And in the late 1920s, Augustus Granville Dill was fired by W. E. B. Du Bois from the NAACP's magazine the Crisis after being arrested for a homosexual encounter. These are just a few moments of queer history that Michael Bronski highlights in this groundbreaking book.

Title: 'Bewaar me voor de waanzin van het recht' : Homoseksualiteit en strafrecht in Nederland
Author Gert Hekma en Theo van der Meer (redactie).
Impressum Diemen : AMB. 2011 - 220 p.: ill.
ISBN 9789079700394
Summary 2011 is voor de Nederlandse homo- en lesbogemeenschap een jaar om enkele bijzondere gebeurtenissen te herdenken. Het is tweehonderd jaar geleden dat in 1811 homoseksueel gedrag in Nederland werd gedecriminialiseerd na tachtig jaar van heftige vervolgingen. Van letterlijk een doodzonde werden homoseksuele contacten in de privésfeer helemaal vrij, een geweldige ommekeer. Precies een eeuw later - in 1911 - werd echter het nieuwe strafwetsartikele 248bis ingevoerd, dat de seksuele omgang tussen meerderjarigen en minderjarigen van hetzelfde geslacht strafbaar stelde, terwijl de leeftijdsgrens voor heteroseksuele omgang op 16 jaar bleef. Nederland kent nu als enig land ter wereld 100 jaar onafgebroken een homobeweging. Een van de memorabele overwinningen van die beweging is de afschaffing van art. 248bis in 1971 - precies veertig jaar geleden. 2011 is ook een kroonjaar voor de huidige homobeweging, het COC, die 65 wordt. Deze bundel gaat over strafrecht en homoseksualiteit en over de uitwerking die de wet heeft gehad op de levens van individuele homo's en lesbo's, in het bijzonder van degenen die direct met vervolging te maken hebben gekregen.

Summary Kurz vor der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung erlebt der junge Rudolf Brazda sein Coming-out als Homosexueller.

Alexander Zinn erzählt die Geschichte eines erfüllten Lebens, das trotz aller Widrigkeiten von Liebe und Lebensfreude geprägt ist. Zugleich schildert er die unbarmherzige Verfolgung homosexueller Männer während des Nationalsozialismus - eine Geschichte, die bis heute viele blinde Flecken hat.

Title: Exclusion as Language and the Language of Exclusion : Tracing Regimes of Gender through Linguistic Representations of the "Eunuch"
Author Shane Gannon.
Impressum Journal of the History of Sexuality, 20 (2011) 1 (jan), p. 1-27.
Summary In the British India of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a particular figure emerged: the eunuch. Found in several Sanskrit and Pali texts that were translated into English for the express purpose of enabling British colonial governance in South Asia, this specter seemed to haunt the colonial imaginary; this apparition, largely defined by exclusion, frequented legal texts and, consequently, troubled British notions of masculinity and sexuality as well as the relationship between the two. In a context where the colonial administrators articulated a wish, often absent in practice, to rule peoples identified as "Oriental" through their own laws and thus to position themselves against the imagined despotism of the previous rulers, they needed to understand what these local legal codes were. As part of this project, several translators rendered books that the British conceived of as important to the task at hand into English. Through this process, this monstrous - a term many colonial writers used to designate what characterized any unnatural creature - spectacle materialized and haunted the literature. This article explores the literary figure of the "eunuch" as a symptom of the translation process. By rendering these ostensibly legally and socially significant texts into English, the translators filtered them through a framework of intelligibility that constructed this figure as a depository of social meaning. That is, the use of the word "eunuch" mapped unarticulated notions onto a legal and social topography through the process of rendering the writings into English. Conceptions of masculinity and sexuality were anchored through the process of interpreting the indigenous texts. These two ideas of masculinity and sexuality also represent larger colonial processes.

Title: Gay and Lesbian Atlanta
Author Wesley Chenault and Stacy Braukman ;
Impressum Charleston, SC [etc.] : Arcadia. 2008 - 127 p.: ill.
ISBN 9780738553771
Summary For much of the 20th century, Atlanta was a magnet drawing newcomers from around the nation. Atlanta's growth from a small Southern town to a Sunbelt colossus in many ways parallels the changes that shaped America during those 100 years: industrialization, technological innovation, suburbanization, and battles over racial equality. Largely overlooked in the Atlanta story, however, are the experiences of lesbians and gay men. In a city governed by powerful business interests and an ethos of Christian conservatism, gays and lesbians maneuvered in ways both large and small, public and private, to find personal happiness, professional fulfillment, and, eventually, a political voice. Until recently, Atlanta's gay and lesbian history survived and perished with the memories of the men and women who lived it. Now a small part of that history has been preserved in this collection of unforgettable images. Images of America: Gay and Lesbian Atlanta is an offshoot of an Atlanta History Center exhibition, The Unspoken Past: Atlanta Lesbian and Gay History, 1940-1970. Most of the images are held in the collections of the James G. Kenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center, where coauthor Wesley Chenault serves as archivist. Coauthor Stacy Braukman, who received a doctorate in history from the University of North Carolina, is a writer and editor in Atlanta.

Summary Gerald Gerash is an integral part of gay civil rights. Through this documentary, he narrates the events that led up to a confrontation with the Denver city council on October 23, 1973, where impassioned activists spoke for basic rights. Just a few years after Stonewall, this remarkable event changed the course of Denver's treatment of gay and lesbian citizens. Gerash uses personal accounts, photos, and actual recorded testimonies to depict the events on that evening. Viewers become witnesses to that night, when the city council treated gay activism as a joke. We get to listen as though we are a fly on the wall, and we watch as the tide changes. Illegal roundups, entrapment, and a reckless vice squad make for a riveting heroic narrative of the people who stood up to the injustice in Denver.

Summary Avec ce volume consacré à l'homosexualité masculine au siècle des Lumières, Godard achève son projet d'écrire une Histoire des Sodomites de l'avènement du christianisme à la Révolution française. Aucune étude d'ensemble n'avait encore été consacrée à l'homosexualité au XVIIIe siècle. Il s'agit pourtant d'une époque cruciale, qui voit le remplacement de la vieille figure du sodomite par celle de l'homosexuel, même si le mot n'existe pas encore. Elle est marquée par l'abandon d'une répression millénaire, obtenu notamment grâce aux combats des philosophes, qui débattent de la question comme on ne l'avait jamais fait, qui font de "l'amour philosophique", comme on disait alors, une question philosophique par excellence. La lutte qu'ils mènent, avec succès, contre une répression millénaire, annonce les combats d'aujourd'hui pour les droits des homosexuels.

Impressum Charleston, SC : Arcadia. 2011 - 127 p.: ill.
ISBN 9780738574905
Summary Los Angeles has always been a city of possibilities and reinvention. A youthful and independent spirit permeates the culture and gives a sense of freedom found in few other places. This environment provided fertile ground for the growth of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community that had a major influence on LGBT life in the United States. For most of American history, queer identities were only visible in forms of entertainment, with most of the culture existing underground and in fear. By the 1950s, however, a few brave gay people living in Los Angeles dared to challenge society's negative views on homosexuality. For the next two decades, L.A. produced the nation's first LGBT leaders, organizations, and publications, and gave birth to the national movement for LGBT equality. This book is produced by Roots of Equality, a grassroots LGBT organization founded by Kersu Dalal, Tom De Simone, Justin Emerick, Melissa Lopez, Andrew Sacher, Diem Tran, and Teresa Wang. In 2009, Roots of Equality produced Lavender Los Angeles as an exhibit, which uncovered many little-known histories of the LGBT community in Los Angeles. This book is based on the exhibit, and most of the images come from ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives.

Annotation Bibliogr.: p. 295-308.
Summary In Paris in 1954, a young man named André Baudry founded Arcadie, an organization for 'homophiles' that would become the largest of its kind that has ever existed in France, lasting nearly thirty years. In addition to acting as the only public voice for French gays prior to the explosion of radicalism of 1968, Arcadie - with its club and review - was a social and intellectual hub, attracting support from individuals as diverse as Jean Cocteau and Michel Foucault and offering support and solidarity to thousands of isolated individuals. Yet despite its huge importance, Arcadie has largely disappeared from the historical record. The main cause of this neglect, Julian Jackson explains in "Living in Arcadia", is that during the post-Stonewall era of queer activism, Baudry's organization fell into disfavor, dismissed as conservative, conformist, and closeted. Through extensive archival research and numerous interviews with the reclusive Baudry, Jackson challenges this reductive view, uncovering Arcadie's pioneering efforts to educate the European public about homosexuality in an era of renewed repression. In the course of relating this absorbing story, Jackson offers a startlingly original account of the history of homosexuality in modern France.

ISBN 9789622099814

Summary This is the most serious study to date on the topic of male same-sex relations in China during the early twentieth century, illuminating male same-sex relations in many sites: language, translated sexological writings, literary works, tabloid newspapers, and opera. Documenting how nationalism and colonial modernity reconfigured Chinese discourses on sex between men in the early twentieth century, Wenqing Kang has amassed a wealth of material previously overlooked by scholars, such as the entertainment news and opinion pieces related to same-sex relations published in the tabloid press. He sheds new light on several puzzles, such as the process whereby sex between men became increasingly stigmatized in China between the 1910s and 1940s, and shows that the rich vocabulary and concepts that existed for male-male relations in premodern China continued to be used by journalists and writers throughout the Republican era, creating the conditions for receiving Western sexology.

Das Buch präsentiert neue Studien zum Schicksal Homosexueller nach dem Ende der NS-Zeit, zur Homophilenbewegung der 1950er bis hin zum Generationskonflikt am Ende der 1960er Jahre. Es wirft damit die überraschende Frage auf, ob nicht auch schon zu Beginn der 1950er Jahre eine Bewegung existiert hat, die in späteren Jahren wieder erstickt wurde.

ISBN 1403912909
Annotation Bibliogr.: p. 286-291.
Summary This book offers an overview of approaches, methods, recent work and major debates in the history of sexuality. The two decades since the publication of Michel Foucault's seminal History of Sexuality have witnessed both a proliferation of empirical and theoretical historical studies and an increasing divergence in approaches to the writing of histories of sexuality in Europe and North America. Yet while these centrifugal trajectories have been identified in many edited collections, there has been no coherent attempt to address, or draw together, this diversity of practice and methodology. This collection aims to do just this, drawing on contributions from a range of scholars, each examining the past, present and future of the exploration of sex, as a social, cultural and historical phenomenon.

ISBN 3883095133
Annotation Bibliogr.: p. 150-162.
Summary Auch in Bern hatte sich zu Beginn der 1970er Jahre eine Frauenbewegung herausgebildet. Nach 1975 forderten Aktivistinnen den Feminismus weiter heraus: Nicht nur die Ungleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern sollte reflektiert werden, sondern die Diskriminierung lesbischer Frauen in der Gesellschaft und innerhalb der Frauenbewegung musste Gegenstand jeder Frauenbefreiung werden. Waren es nicht gerade lesbische Frauen, welche die Frauenbewegung zu einem grossen Teil trugen? Weshalb war ihre spezifische Situation bisher nicht in den Blick geraten? Das Verhältnis zwischen Lesbianismus und Feminismus bestimmte auch in der Schweiz die innerfeministischer Ausdifferenzierungen in den 1970er Jahren. Am Beispiel dreier Berner Gruppierungen, welche sich auf unterschiedliche Weise für die Emanzipation frauenliebender Frauen einsetzten, wird der subtile Wandel im politischen Selbstverständnis lesbisch-feministischer Akteurinnen zwischen 1975 und 1993 nachgezeichnet. Dieser ermöglicht nicht zuletzt Rückschlüsse auf zentrale Veränderungen in der Frauenbewegung, die sich in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren vollzogen.

Impressum Aldershot [etc.] : Ashgate. 2008 - ix, 375 p.: ill.
ISBN 9780754663775
Annotation Bibliogr.: p. 335-366.
Summary Focusing on multiple aspects of Renaissance culture, and in particular its preoccupation with the reading and rewriting of classical sources, this book examines representations of homosexuality in sixteenth-century France. Analysing a wide range of texts and topics, it presents an assessment of queer theory that is grounded in historical examples, including French translations of Boccaccio's "Decameron", the poetry of Ronsard, works in praise of and satirising Henri III and his mignons, Montaigne's "Essais", Brantome's "Dames" galantes, the figures of the androgyne and the hermaphrodite, and religious discourses and practices of penance and confession. Close comparison with the ancient models on which they drew - the elegy and epic, the works of Plato, Ovid, Lucian, and others - reveals Renaissance writers redeploying an established set of cultural understandings and assumptions at once congruent and at odds with their own society's sociosexual norms. Throughout this study, emphasis is placed on the coexistence of different models of homosexuality during the Renaissance - homosexual desire was simultaneously universal and individual, neither of these views excluding the other. Insisting equally on points of convergence and difference between Renaissance and modern understandings of homosexuality, this book works towards a historicisation of the concept of queerness.

For the first time, patrons refuse to be led into paddy wagons, setting off a 3-day riot that launches the Gay Rights Movement. Told by Stonewall patrons, reporters and the cop who led the raid, Stonewall Uprising recalls the bad old days when psychoanalysts equated homosexuality with mental illness and advised aversion therapy, and even lobotomies; public service announcements warned youngsters against predatory homosexuals; and police entrapment was rampant. At the height of this oppression, the cops raid Stonewall, triggering nights of pandemonium with tear gas, billy clubs and a small army of tactical police. The rest is history.

Summary On 27 May 1938 a Dr. R. D. Reid wrote to the archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Gordon Lang, requesting clear guidance on the issue of homosexuality. Reid was a former school headmaster who had lost his position in a homosexual scandal the previous year. Following his prosecution and conviction, he "received letters of sympathy from inverts all over the country" and through these contacts found his way into what he called the "homosexual underworld." He told Lang that it was there, "in an atmosphere of bitter hostility to authority, both religious and civil, these unfortunate people obtain the understanding of fellowship which is otherwise denied them." Reid considered himself a loyal member of the Church of England but found the church’s complete silence on homosexuality deplorable. He pleaded with Lang to end the church’s "policy of almost criminal silence." Lang replied to Reid on 9 June. He wrote: "I am indeed only too painfully familiar with the problem with which you are concerned as I have constantly to deal with clergy, some of them otherwise of high character, who have given way to the instincts about which you write." Despite his sympathy with and knowledge of the problem, Lang concluded that he was not prepared to change the church’s "policy of concealment." Nonetheless, Reid continued to campaign for church reform over the next twenty years. In 1953 he wrote to the new archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher. Fisher replied in almost the same words as Lang: "This is hardly the moment at which to put in a plea for a better law or for public sympathy." As Fisher was writing those words, however, the Church of England Moral Welfare Council was starting to formulate a new church policy on homosexuality. In 1954 it published The Problem of Homosexuality: An Interim Report, which recommended the decriminalization of homosexuality.

The scientific belief that female political activism and voting rights could result in a reversal of sex is analyzed by the author.

Title: "Unverbrüchliche Treue" : Hohenzollern machten die Nationalsozialisten im deutschen Hochadel hoffähig. Preussen-Prinz August Wilhelm hielt noch bis Kriegsende zu Hitler
Author Jan Friedmann.
Impressum Spiegel Geschichte, (2011) 2 (März), p. 126-127.
Summary Prins August Wilhelm van Pruisen (1887-1949) was een prins uit het huis Hohenzollern. Hij was de vierde zoon van de laatste Duitse keizer Wilhelm II en diens vrouw Augusta Victoria. August onderhield meer dan warme betrekkingen met zijn adjudant en het waren zijn "uitgesproken homoseksuele neigingen" die uiteindelijk leidden tot een scheiding tussen hem en zijn vrouw. In 1920 vestigde hij zich in Potsdam, waar hij teruggetrokken leefde en zijn inkomen wat trachtte aan te vullen met het verkopen van zelfgemaakte tekeningen en schilderijen. In 1930 werd hij lid van de NSDAP. Door de nazi's werd August Wilhelm ingezet als stemmentrekker. De zoon van de voormalige keizer moest kiezers aan de NSDAP binden, die normaal gesproken afkerig waren van het nationaalsocialisme. August Wilhelm werd lid van de Rijksdag en voorman bij de SA. In 1942 viel hij, na enkele kritische uitlatingen over Joseph Goebbels, evenwel in ongenade. Hem werd een spreekverbod opgelegd. Op 8 mei 1945 werd hij door de Amerikanen gevangengenomen en tot drie jaar gevangenisstraf veroordeeld. Hij zat zijn straf niet uit en stierf op 62-jarige leeftijd.
