When Jeanette Winterson left home at 16 because she was in love with a woman, Mrs. Winterson asked her: "Why be happy when you could be normal?" This book is the story of a life's work to find happiness. It is the story of how the painful past returned to haunt Jeanette's later life, and send her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her real mother. It is also a book about other people's stories, showing how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, a life raft which supports us when we are sinking.

Attraverso una lente decoloniale e di genere, le autrici rivendicano l'esigenza di un femminismo terrone: una rivoluzione culturale che sfida le convinzioni radicate sull'identità meridionale e sovverte l'asse Nord-Sud su cui si fonda la narrazione egemonica non solo italiana. Un viaggio di emancipazione e scoperta di identità altre, di lotte e di esperienze, uno spunto prezioso per chiunque voglia comprendere e combattere le ingiustizie che ancora oggi colpiscono il Sud e i sud.

À travers un essai qui mêle analyses sociologiques, témoignages et expériences intimes, Camille Teste interroge l'invisibilisation des personnes bi et révèle les violences silencieuses qu'elles subissent. Démontant les clichés qui collent à la bisexualité, elle s'attache à lui redonner toute sa place : ni un entre-deux ni un flou, mais une identité pleine et entière, qui dérange parce qu'elle trouble les lignes binaires, questionne la norme et fragilise le système.

Il Tantra è la metodologia che permette di purificare l'amore da tutto ciò che lo avvelena. Per capirlo, è essenziale partire da una comprensione fondamentale, ovvero che noi siamo una realtà energetica, ed esiste un'unica energia vitale che opera attraverso di noi. Come Osho spiega, "è la stessa energia vitale che al livello più basso si manifesta come energia sessuale, e al livello più elevato si manifesta come spirituale. Pertanto, secondo me, non esiste opposizione di sorta, nessun conflitto."

Esistono infiniti modi di provare e provocare piacere, e infiniti esperimenti che si possono fare, da solə o con altre persone, per scoprirli. Il sesso può essere un’esperienza meravigliosa, ma capita che difficoltà fisiche ed emotive finiscano per rovinare questo momento, o che tabù e pregiudizi impediscano di vivere i rapporti in modo appagante e completo. Scoprire la sessualità vuol dire guardare oltre la mera e spasmodica ricerca dell’orgasmo per godersi il viaggio nella sua interezza, e rispettare desideri, fantasie, gusti e limitazioni, perché il sesso non è sempre perfetto, anzi!

One of the most maligned, misunderstood, and even mocked constituencies in American politics, gay Republicans regularly face condemnation from both the LGBTQ+ community and their own political party. Yet they’ve been active and influential for decades. Gay conservatives were instrumental, for example, in ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and securing the legalization of same-sex marriage—but they also helped lay the groundwork for the rise of Donald Trump.

Das Standardwerk zur queeren Geschichte Deutschlands von 1871 bis heute. Deutschlands queere Geschichte ist lange vernachlässigt worden. Und so scheint queeres Leben erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten zum Thema geworden zu sein – dabei kämpften Homosexuellenbewegungen bereits im Kaiserreich gegen Ausgrenzung und Diskriminierung. Wie lässt sich die Geschichte gleichgeschlechtlich liebender und gender-nonkonformer Menschen erzählen? Wie stellt sich deutsche Geschichte aus queerer Perspektive dar.

Wanting to be a dancer while growing up in a large military family made Christine Barker somewhat of a black sheep, but she followed her dreams to New York City, where—in a moment of almost unbelievable good fortune—she was chosen for the London cast of A Chorus Line. London, and then New York, in the '70s and '80s opened up Christine’s world. The creativity, culture, and nightlife were intoxicating, enough so to compel her older brother Laughlin to join her. Once there, the divorced father, veteran, and corporate lawyer met rising fashion star Perry Ellis.

Embodiment is not an easy business. From violence to illness, sexuality to racism, the fact of a body can be impossibly hard to inhabit. Olivia Laing draws on her own background in protest and alternative medicine to investigate the reasons why. Laing’s exploration of the complexities of bodily life takes in some of the most significant and beguiling figures of the past century, among them the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the painters Francis Bacon and Agnes Martin and the singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

Helen Eisenbach's hilariously irreverent guide provides a front-row seat to a largely female universe where love, lust, and forbidden laughter are just a fingertip away. Sharing hard-earned truths with sly insight and wit, Eisenbach reveals the fascinating inside story of a growing culture and shows how anyone can acquire the skills and state of mind to be a lesbian.

A pioneer of LGBTQ studies dares to suggest that gayness is a way of being that gay men must learn from one another to become who they are. The genius of gay culture resides in some of its most despised stereotypes - aestheticism, snobbery, melodrama, glamour, caricatures of women, and obsession with mothers - and in the social meaning of style.

The journey from sexual curiosity to finally coming out can be confusing without proper guidance and empowering role models. In Same Sex in the City, Lauren Levin and Lauren Blitzer provide women - gay, straight, and bi-curious alike - with firsthand insight into the advantages and challenges of being a lesbian. In prose that is at once honest and uplifting, the Laurens relate their own experiences and those of the women they interview, as well as offer serious advice, titillating anecdotes, and a positive attitude for girls who know they're gay - and for those who are wondering about their sexuality but are not yet sure whether their Prince Charming is really a Cinderella.

It's surprising that the term "heterosexuality" is less than 150 years old and that heterosexuality's history has never before been written, given how obsessed we are with it. In Straight, independent scholar Hanne Blank delves deep into the contemporary psyche as well as the historical record to chronicle the realm of heterosexual relations - a subject that is anything but straight and narrow.

In a hugely ambitious study that crosses continents, languages, and almost a century, Gregory Woods identifies the ways in which homosexuality has helped shape Western culture. Extending from the trials of Oscar Wilde to the gay liberation era, this book examines a period in which increased visibility made acceptance of homosexuality one of the measures of modernity.

Not Gay thrusts deep into a world where straight guy-on-guy action is not a myth but a reality: There's fraternity and military hazing rituals, where new recruits are made to grab each other's penises and stick fingers up their fellow members' anuses; online personal ads, where straight men seek other straight men to masturbate with; and, last but not least, the long and clandestine history of straight men frequenting public restrooms for sexual encounters with other men.

In July 2012, aged 30, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery and felt for the first time that her body matched the person she felt she had been since childhood. Through university and then in a series of dead end clerical jobs, Jacques felt out of place with her surroundings, and with who she really was. Living in Brighton, trying to launch a career as a writer, she navigates the hostilities and misunderstandings of growing up in a time when the mainstream media - and even feminism - fail to acknowledge transgender identity.
