Director's Letter, Sarah Chinn 2011 CUNY Hunter College

Director's Letter, Sarah Chinn

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

As I write this, the snow is slowly melting: the residue of the blizzard that brought 2010 to a close (and ground the East Coast to an almost complete halt). The stillness of the air outside fosters a kind of meditativeness, although it's hard to get a firm grasp on the events of the past few weeks. After what seemed like an endless parade of false starts, Congress finally overturned Don't Ask, Don't Tell, a policy that came into being at the same time as our newest crop of undergraduates. And at almost the same moment, the DREAM Act, legislation …

Visiting Clags As A Scholar In Residence, Tuula Juvonen 2011 University of Helsinki

Visiting Clags As A Scholar In Residence, Tuula Juvonen

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

A year ago I was most excited to receive a letter of invitation from CLAGS' executive director Sarah Chinn to spend the autumn term 2010 as a Scholar in Residence. The idea of returning to CLAGS after 16 years of absence was particularly intriguing for me because I found my last visit there in 1994 most valuable and inspiring for my scholarly work. And I was not to be disappointed this time either.


Lgbti: El Movimiento De Base De Quito, Genevieve Venable 2011 SIT Study Abroad

Lgbti: El Movimiento De Base De Quito, Genevieve Venable

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

El Ecuador es un país altamente conservador y católico, por un lado, pero por otro lado es diverso cultural y racialmente y, en términos de su constitución, muy progresista. Esta contradicción está reflejada en el sistema político, en el que hay brechas entre lo legal y lo que pasa en la práctica cotidiana. Por eso, el tema de los movimientos de base y cómo pueden hacer cambios verdaderos en lo político y lo cultural es un tema sumamente importante que me interesa mucho. Los movimientos tienen que considerar la variedad de obstáculos presentados por la realidad ecuatoriana para alcanzar sus …


Men Of God Homosexual And Catholic Identity Negotiation, Through Holland‟S Catholic Priests, Kyle Alexander 2011 SIT Study Abroad

Men Of God Homosexual And Catholic Identity Negotiation, Through Holland‟S Catholic Priests, Kyle Alexander

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine how the Dutch gay Catholic man negotiates his seemingly contradictory sexual and religious identities. Homophobic interpretations of Catholic doctrine and belief often leave the gay Catholic man distanced and isolated from his faith. The current study expands on previous psychosocial literature by providing a more fluid and humanist theoretical framing of identity negotiation; as well as a historical, political, and psychological understanding of the gay Catholic men in Dutch context. Three life stories of Dutch Gay Catholic priests were collected and critically engaged to comment on the larger issue of religious …


A Need For Culture Change: Glbt Latinas/Os And Immigration, Berta E. Hernández-Truyol 2011 University of Florida Levin College of Law

A Need For Culture Change: Glbt Latinas/Os And Immigration, Berta E. Hernández-Truyol

UF Law Faculty Publications

In conversations about Latina/o immigration, such as the one that took place at LLEADS #2: The U.S. Immigration Crises: Enemies at Our Gates or Lady Liberty's Huddled Masses?, there is one issue that we tend not to address. There exists a Latina/o immigration cuento normativo (normative narrative) that obscures and denies an entire group of Latinas/os. This cuento normativo is not only insufficiently attentive to, but is downright erasing of GLBT Latinas/os. In this Article, I want to urge participation in a movement for cultural change within the various and varied comunidades Latinas (Latina/o communities) to embrace a new, inclusive …

Performing Femininity: Rae Bourbon And Christine Jorgensen Onstage, Taylor Riccio 2011 Fordham University

Performing Femininity: Rae Bourbon And Christine Jorgensen Onstage, Taylor Riccio

American Studies Senior Theses

Drag performers and transexuals exist on the margins of the two gender binary. By existing on these margins these performers use both their physical bodies and humor to lampoon and subvert the gender binary and broaden the understanding of how gender is performed. Two performers, Rae Bourbon, a female impersonator, and Christine Jorgensen, a transexual who became a performer, placed their marginalized bodies on the stage and by doing so they heighten the subversion and critique of gender inherent in their performances.Gender is a normalizing force that dominates human interactions. Kessler and McKenna open their work on gender with the …

A Preliminary Investigation Of Worry Content In Sexual Minorities, Brandon J. Weiss, Debra A. Hope 2011 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

A Preliminary Investigation Of Worry Content In Sexual Minorities, Brandon J. Weiss, Debra A. Hope

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

This preliminary study examined the nature of worry content of lesbians, gay men, and bisexual individuals and the relationship between worry related to sexual orientation and mental health. A community sample of 54 individuals identifying as sexual minorities was recruited from two cities in the Great Plains to complete a packet of questionaires, including a modified Worry Domains Questionnaire (WDQ; Tallis, Eysenck, & Mathews, 1992) with additional items constructed to assess worry over discrimination related to sexual orientation, and participate in a worry induction and verbalization task. The content of self-reported worries was consistent with those reported in prior investigations …
