Lambda Literary Awards Finalist Here at last is a comprehensive and highly approachable introduction to lesbian and gay studies for students and general readers. More than one hundred articles, essays, and primary documents cover the formation of gay identity, religious, scientific, medical, and legal perspectives, the mainstream media, lesbian and gay media, and community prospects and tactics. From Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick\u00b4s essay, ‘How to Bring Your Kids Up Gay,’ to Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger\u00b4s ‘Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,’ to a 1947 Newsweek article, ‘Homosexuals in Uniform,’ The Columbia Reader explores experiences and representations of lesbian and gay people in an engaging and accessible format. The Columbia Reader features: \u00b7 concise introductions to each section, as well as a substantial general introduction \u00b7 viewpoints -ranging from radical to conservative -of lesbian and gay scholars and community writers, as well as nongay intellectuals and public figures \u00b7 essays, articles, and primary documents from both mainstream and lesbian\/gay sources \u00b7 detailed exploration of mainstream media representations of gays and lesbians in films, television, and print as well as the rise of lesbian\/gay media outlets \u00b7 broad coverage of history and identity, social, cultural, legal, medical, and religious regulation, AIDS, and lesbian and gay political agendas and strategies \u00b7 current topics, such as the recent development of a cybercommunity, as well as questions of censorship and pornography, same-sex marriage, the ethics of ‘outing,’ gay and lesbian activism, and the conservative backlash Grounded in key social and political topics rather than wholly theoretical approaches, The Columbia Reader on Lesbians and Gay Men in Media, Society, and Politics will be a valuable resource for years to come.<\/div>\n
