Today most LGBTQ rights supporters take for granted the virtue of being "out, loud, and proud." Most also assume that it would be terrible to be LGBTQ in a rural place. By considering moments in which queerness and rurality come into contact, Visibility Interrupted argues that both positions are wrong. In the first monograph on LGBTQ women in the rural Midwest, Carly Thomsen deconstructs the image of the rural as a flat, homogenous, and anachronistic place where LGBTQ people necessarily suffer. And she suggests that visibility is not liberation and will not lead to liberation.

Dall'11 maggio 2016 le unioni civili sono legge. E se sul matrimonio è stato scritto molto e sulle donne altrettanto, sulle donne che hanno deciso di sposarsi fra loro si sa molto meno. A riempire con la sua intelligenza questo vuoto, arriva Chiara Sfregola che, a partire dalla sua esperienza di lesbica, di femminista e di moglie, racconta con un passo a metà tra saggistica e memoir cosa è stato storicamente e cosa sta diventando, oggi, il matrimonio.

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone.

The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races—and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening.

Com seu estilo franco e certeiro, Ruth Manus mostra que expandir a conversa sobre o machismo, convidando para o papo as pessoas que ainda não têm familiaridade com o assunto, é mais do que necessário: é urgente. Deixando claro que um audiolivro contra o machismo não é um audiolivro contra os homens, que não são só os homens que têm atitudes machistas e que reconhecer o próprio machismo—e lutar contra ele—é um ato de coragem, Ruth nos guia no caminho da conscientização e nos convida a mudar comportamentos, discursos e, em última instância, o próprio mundo.

Brim shows how queer studies also takes place beyond the halls of flagship institutions: in night school; after a three-hour commute; in overflowing classrooms at no-name colleges; with no research budget; without access to decent food; with kids in tow; in a state of homelessness.
