- Description
- The author examines the differences in politics, policy, and culture in leading Western democracies and offers an explanation as to why lesbian and gay citizens in Europe reap more benefits of equality. This analysis of the political economy of care calls attention to the ways in which care is negotiated by various investors (the state, families, individuals, and the faith-based voluntary sector) and the power dynamics of this negotiation. historically, Christian churches have been leading primary investors in care, providing a direct safety net for children and the elderly. Despite European secularization, the involvement of the Christian church elites in both the provision of service and the setting of the values frame for welfare cannot be underestimated. The historical involvement of Christian churches is unique in each country, but one common factor is the normative interpretation of “the family.” The role of Christian values—from left-leaning social justice, Reformed Protestant individualism, or social conservatism—in relation to the political economy of care gives a distinctive flavor to questions about under what circumstances policymakers are compelled, or not, to expand policies to include lesbian and gay citizens.

- Description
- This book explores the history of homophobia in Russia, by examining nine 'case histories' that reveal the origins and development of homophobic attitudes in modern Russia. In the first part it examines some sites of homophobic violence in Russia after 1945. Secondly, it looks at the rise of a visible LGBT scene in late Soviet and later post-communist Russian society. The third part is about writing and remembering Russia's queer past. The author argues that the lack of adequate historical research and memory work will weaken the future of Russia's LGBT citizens.

- Description
- The author analyses the entirety of Islamic scriptural sources that relate to the question of gender and sexuality in relation to their historical contexts. He clarifies key theological concepts that may seem esoteric to the uninitiated. In doing so, he makes a compelling case for the compatibility of sexual and gender diversity within Islam. Zahed also examines the historical and contemporary socio-political impacts of inclusive and exclusive (or, quite simply, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic) interpretations of scripture.

- Same-sex love and nonbinary genders were and are widespread in Africa. This publication documents the presence of this diversity in some fifty societies in every region of the continent south of the Sahara. Essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines explore institutionalized marriages between women, same-sex relations between men and boys in colonial work settings, mixed gender roles in east and west Africa, and the emergence of LGBTQ activism in South Africa, which became the first nation in the world to constitutionally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also included are oral histories, folklore, and translations of early ethnographic reports by German and French observers.

- Description
- This book provides an overview of the main themes surrounding the history of sexuality from 1500 to the present day. The history of sex and the body is an expanding field in which vibrant debate on, for instance, the history of homosexuality, is developing. This book examines the current scholarship and looks towards future directions across the field. The volume is divided into fourteen thematic chapters, which are split into two chronological sections 1500 – 1750 and 1750 to present day. Focusing on the history of sexuality and the body in the West but also interactions with a broader globe, these thematic chapters survey the major areas of debate and discussion. Covering themes such as science, identity, the gaze, courtship, reproduction, sexual violence and the importance of race, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the history of sex and the body. The book concludes with an afterword in which the reader is invited to consider some of the ‘tensions, problems and areas deserving further scrutiny’.

- Schulman argues that homophobia is pathological, a virus insinuating itself onto the body of the family and the body politic. She exposes the ways in which systems of familial homophobia operate, and the consequences this has on all family members and on the larger society. She envisions a new world, a transformed society where homophobia is rejected and shunned, where third parties intervene to eradicate this virus of familial homophobia, and where gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people are cherished and nurtured.

- At the height of the Second World War, Switzerland decriminalised homosexuality. At the same time, France chose to introduce a law punishing homosexual relationships in certain circumstances. Going beyond the issue of the persecution of homosexuals and the central role played by Nazi Germany between 1939 and 1945, this book is examines the daily lives of homosexual men and women in wartime. It tells a different history, one which was marked by repression but also by enlistment in armies at war and resistance groups, not to mention collaboration. It enables us to better understand why the Second World War was a turning point for gays and lesbians in Europe .

- This book is about a same-sex wedding ceremony in sixteenth-century Rome. The case involved a group of mostly Spanish and Portuguese men, arrested and executed in Rome in 1578, said to have performed same-sex wedding ceremonies in one of the city's major churches. We know about the incident from a number of sources, including the travel journal of the French essayist Michel de Montaigne. Ferguson brings the story to life in detail. He reveals not only the names of the men but also where they lived, how they were employed, and who their friends were. In particular, he unearths a surprising amount of detail about the men’s sex lives, and how others responded to this information, which allows him to explore attitudes toward marriage, sex, and gender at the time.
