- Description
- Ivan E. Coyote and Rae Spoon are writers, musicians, and performers: they are also both admitted 'gender failures.' In this collaborative book, Ivan and Rae explore and expose their failed attempts at fitting into the gender binary, and how ultimately our expectations and assumptions around traditional gender roles fail us all. .Based on their acclaimed 2012 live show that toured across the United States and in Europe, the book is a collection of autobiographical essays, lyrics, and images documenting Ivan and Rae's personal journeys. It's a book that will touch LGBTQ readers and others, revealing that gender comes in more than two sizes.

- Description
- Twenty interviews with twenty-two queer video game developers, that offer a portrait of an influential community that is subverting and redefining the medium of video games by placing queerness front and center. The game makers tell about their creative practices, their politics and passions, their lives and inspirations, the challenges they face, and the ways they understand their places within the wider terrain of video game culture. Their insights go beyond typical conversations about LGBTQ representation in video games or how to improve “diversity” in digital media. Instead, they explore queer game-making practices, the politics of queer independent video games, how queerness can be expressed as an aesthetic practice, the influence of feminist art on their work, and the future of queer video games and technology.
Appendix with queer indie games to play at home or in the classroom.

- Description
- Political representation requires participation: voting, joining political parties, running as candidates, acting as politicians. Yet the election of openly LGBTQ people is a relatively recent phenomenon in the West. Queering Representation explores long-ignored issues relating to LGBTQ voters and politicians in Canada. What are the LGBTQ electorate’s characteristics and voting behaviours? What part do the media play in framing straight voters’ perceptions of out LGBTQ politicians? What pathways to power do LGBTQ politicians follow? Do they represent LGBTQ people and communities, and if so, how is this role articulated? And finally, how do Canadian party ideologies shape LGBTQ representation?
