Migration has long been an option, even a necessity, for gays, to avoid the stigma attached to homosexuality in their own communities, or to seek out more people like themselves. Lesbians and gays have often been drawn to big cities, which provide the opportunity to re-invent themselves. The book explores the development of sexual identities and how these conflict with other identities, and considers what it means to &#8216;belong&#8217; to any given community.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Bob Cant, Invented Identities?\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Invented Identities?, Bob Cant&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Bob Cant, Invented Identities?\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9780304335565<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>LGBT Studies\/Social Sciences<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>Mar-97<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Continuum International Publishing Group<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Editor<\/td>\n<td>Bob Cant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>192<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Editor<\/td>\n<td>Bob Cant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>6078<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Cant | Invented Identities?
