Normal Life
Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law
AvDean Spade

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Revised and Expanded EditionWait-what's wrong with rights? It is usually assumed that trans and gender nonconforming people should follow the civil rights and "equality" strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations by agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee nondiscrimination and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the best way to address the poverty and criminalization that plague trans populations is to gain legal recognition and inclusion in the state's institutions. But is this strategy effective?In Normal Life Dean Spade presents revelatory critiques of the legal equality framework for social change, and points to examples of transformative grassroots trans activism that is raising demands that go beyond traditional civil rights reforms. Spade explodes assumptions about what legal rights can do for marginalized populations, and describes transformative resistance processes and formations that address the root causes of harm and violence.In the new afterword to this revised and expanded edition, Spade notes the rapid mainstreaming of trans politics and finds that his predictions that gaining legal recognition will fail to benefit trans populations are coming to fruition. Spade examines recent efforts by the Obama administration and trans equality advocates to "pinkwash" state violence by articulating the US military and prison systems as sites for trans inclusion reforms. In the context of recent increased mainstream visibility of trans people and trans politics, Spade continues to advocate for the dismantling of systems of state violence that shorten the lives of trans people. Now more than ever, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require.

'Powerful and provocative' - Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the Sunday Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist'A MUST read for any white women who consider themselves "feminist"' - Scarlett Curtis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Feminists Don't Wear Pink 'An explosive and revelatory argument for deconstructing and confronting the entrenched notions of white supremacy and superiority that still reign today.' - Mireille Harper 'How is it that we have been so conditioned to privilege the emotional comfort of white people?'White tears possess a potency that is rarely acknowledged or commented upon, but they have long been used as a dangerous and insidious tool against people of colour, weaponised in order to invoke sympathy and divert blame. Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep 'ownership' of their slaves, through centuries of colonialism, when women offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, in which tears serve as a defense to counter accusations of bias and micro-aggressions, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women's active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long-overdue validation of the experiences of women of colour and an urgent call-to-arms in the need for true intersectionality.With rigour and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialised within, a reality that we must all apprehend in order to fight.

Välkommen till queerteologins förunderliga värld! Kristen tro och queerhet kan vid första anblicken verka som en oväntad kombo. Men kyrkan har alltid haft queera marginaler och heliga regnbågsfärgade rum. Här finns en queerteologisk tradition av bibelverser där queers förvaltat sin relation med Gud. I den här serieboken kommer vi utforska den hemliga trädgården där queer kristen tro spirar. Och såklart gå igenom queerteologiska perspektiv på skapelsen, vad Jesus sa som är bekräftande för hbtqia-personer idag, plattmaskar, Jesajas kallelse, dinosaurie-tröjor, Gud och vad en luthersk syn på kallelse kan innebära för transpersoner. Det vill säga queerteologi, typ.

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear-and those that do not-as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts-by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon-with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions.

Frågan huruvida det är okej att vara gay har livligt diskuterats i kyrkan sen urminnes tider, kanske ända sen Jesus gick i kortbyxor. Är du nyfiken på hbtq-vänlig bibelläsning men inte pallar att läsa en torr tråkig avhandling om Bibelns grundtexter, Paulus samtid och romarrikets sexualetik? I så fall är det här boken för dig. I gott sällskap av räkor och filosofi-gubbar i toga går vi igenom det man behöver veta om Bibel, teologi och historia för att kunna svara på frågan om det funkar att vara kristen och homosexuell. Ja, det funkar alldeles utmärkt, häng med så får du veta hur!
Johanna Wikberg (f.-89 i Medelpad) bosatt i Göteborg, är teolog och präst i Svenska kyrkan. 2017-2021 ordförande för Riksförbundet EKHO och är en flitigt anlitad föreläsare i queerteologi och hbtq-inkluderande församlingsarbete.

Årets bok på QX Gaygala 2023
En utbildande och dråplig instruktionsbok om att leva som queer idag.
På tal om det: Vad betyder ens queer, varför beskylldes vår första homosexuella kung för digerdöden och hur ser villkoren ut för HBTQI-personer i andra länder? Journalisten och programledaren Edvin Törnblom blandar fakta och historia med djupt personliga berättelser om hur han formats som människa – från de allra mörkaste stunderna med mobbing och självmordsförsök till inspirerande händelser som fått honom att landa i acceptans och kärlek. Allt formulerat med Edvins unika humor, som gjort honom till en framstående röst för sin generation.
”… det är ofiltrerat, ärligt och humoristiskt … en välbehövlig storebror för den som likt Törnblom saknar hbtq-förebilder under uppväxten.” BTJ
”Den prydliga lilla boken gör det som ens mattelärare försökte göra hela högstadiet: makes learning fun. Tung och viktig (!!) fakta om hur hbtqi-personer har upplevt och fortfarande upplever förtryck blandas med Edvins träffsäkra humor och för mig till en otroligt trygg plats – en plats fylld av igenkänning.” Tidningen Ergo

'Odets's warm and lyrical voice, his inspiring picture of how imaginative gay life can be, has sent me queuing for the couch.' Evening Standard'A gay man could read this book as if his life depended on it - and perhaps it does' Andrew Holleran, author of Dancer from the DanceEven in our modern progressive world, it's not easy to be a gay man. While young men often come out more readily, even those from the most liberal of backgrounds still struggle to accept themselves and experience stigma, shame and difficulties with intimate relationships. They also suffer from ongoing trauma wrought by the AIDS epidemic, something that is all too often relegated to history.Drawing on a lifetime's work as a clinical psychologist, Walt Odets uses the stories of his patients as well as those of his own deep relationships with other gay men to illuminate how these difficulties may be overcome. From a 74-year-old who only felt able to come out after his wife had died, to the boy raised in a strict religious family who worked his way to San Francisco, to the middle-aged defence lawyer who left everything behind to embrace a new life, the experiences here explore everything from grief to survival, childhood pain to the definition of gay itself. Out of the Shadows shows us how a new way forward is possible through learning to accept ourselves and others as they are, and independently inventing our own lives.

*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*An intimate, hilarious memoir of art, friendship, queerness, and found family by Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, stars of The L Word—including never-before-shared stories and photos from behind the scenes of the show and their personal lives. "Are you comfortable with nudity?" my manager asked.In the early 2000s, Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey—both young artists trying to figure it all out—met at auditions for an unknown little TV show. Given that it was a show about lesbians living in Los Angeles, with the first ever ensemble cast of openly queer female characters, Kate and Leisha knew the project was going to be unlike anything else out there—that is, if it even got picked up.Then, one million people watched the premiere. The show, which came to be called The L Word, turned into a trailblazing phenomenon. Its influence on pop culture, in the political arena, and in the lives of viewers has been lasting, impactful, even life-saving. And in addition to changing the course of television history, The L Word changed Kate and Leisha's lives forever. Suddenly, they were the faces of lesbian culture in a society still hostile to queerness. And one of them wasn't even out yet.Luckily, they had each other. From their first day on set, Kate and Leisha were so inseparable that the cast joked they were like a pair of pants—you couldn't have one leg without the other. Hence the name for their branded partnership and podcast, PANTS, launched in 2020 and downloaded over twenty million times.This friendship has seen Kate and Leisha through their greatest triumphs and most painful moments, stumbling from closeted queer kids to LGBTQ+ activists, actors, podcasters, and business owners. Full of never-before-shared glimpses into the making of The L Word, Kate and Leisha's real-life loves and losses, and their experiences as queer icons, So Gay for You is a heartfelt, inspiring love letter to a ride or die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family.

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.
Feminist, Queer, Crip
AvAlison Kafer

285 kr
Skickas
In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2019‘Richly evocative and entertaining.’ – Guardian‘A delightful read.’ – Tatler‘An essential book for anyone who wants to Polari Bona!’ – AttitudePolari is a language that was used chiefly by gay men in the first half of the twentieth century. It offered its speakers a degree of public camouflage and a means of identification. Its colourful roots are varied – from Cant to Lingua Franca to dancers’ slang – and in the mid-1960s it was thrust into the limelight by the characters Julian and Sandy, voiced by Hugh Paddick and Kenneth Williams, on the BBC radio show Round the Horne. (‘Oh hello Mr Horne, how bona to vada your dolly old eek!’) Paul Baker recounts the story of Polari with skill, humour and tenderness. He traces its historical origins and describes its linguistic nuts and bolts, explores the ways and the environments in which it was spoken, explains the reasons for its decline and tells of its unlikely re-emergence in the twenty-first century. With a cast of drag queens and sailors, Dilly boys and macho clones, Fabulosa! is an essential document of recent history – a fascinating and fantastically readable account of this funny, filthy and ingenious language.

Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life
A History of Sex and Science
AvRoss Brooks
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
303 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A revelatory history of sex, gender, and science from Linnaeus to DarwinWhat did Darwin and Linnaeus really think about sex? In print, their descriptions of animal courtship painted a comfortingly traditional picture: males were belligerent show-offs, females were choosy and skittish, and the two came together in unions curiously akin to human marriage. But in truth, the forefathers of evolutionary science were acutely aware that this was not the whole story. The reality was far more messy and ambiguous.In this iconoclastic history, Ross Brooks shows how queerness was at the heart of evolutionists’ thinking about the natural world. From hermaphroditic slugs and sex-changing birds to male pigeon lactation, pregnant male seahorses, and bisexual pigs, Darwin and his fellow naturalists were privately in awe of nature’s sexual diversity. These encounters fundamentally shaped their understanding of plants, animals, and humans, even if they were never fully acknowledged in their published writings.Brooks radically exposes us to the hidden queerness of Georgian and Victorian science—and shows how nature has always been more sexually diverse than we’ve been told.
Terrorist Assemblages
Homonationalism in Queer Times
AvJasbir K. Puar
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
347 kr
Skickas
Tenth Anniversary Expanded EditionTen years on, Jasbir K. Puar’s pathbreaking Terrorist Assemblages remains one of the most influential queer theory texts and continues to reverberate across multiple political landscapes, activist projects, and scholarly pursuits. Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class, and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism. She examines how liberal politics incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state, shifting queers from their construction as figures of death to subjects tied to ideas of life and productivity. This tenuous inclusion of some queer subjects depends, however, on the production of populations of Orientalized terrorist bodies. Heteronormative ideologies that the U.S. nation-state has long relied on are now accompanied by what Puar calls homonationalism-a fusing of homosexuality to U.S. pro-war, pro-imperialist agendas. As a concept and tool of biopolitical management, homonationalism is here to stay. Puar’s incisive analyses of feminist and queer responses to the Abu Ghraib photographs, the decriminalization of sodomy in the wake of the Patriot Act, and the profiling of Sikh Americans and South Asian diasporic queers are not instances of a particular historical moment; rather, they are reflective of the dynamics saturating power, sexuality, race, and politics today. This Tenth Anniversary Expanded Edition features a new foreword by Tavia Nyong’o and a postscript by Puar entitled “Homonationalism in Trump Times.” Nyong’o and Puar recontextualize the book in light of the current political moment while reposing its original questions to illuminate how Puar’s interventions are even more vital and necessary than ever.

”Hej mamma. Jag är inte död. Jag skrev ett brev till dig, som blev en hel bok.” Eriks föräldrar kommer med begravningsfika. Tårta, kaffe och en bukett rosor. De ska ta farväl av sin son. Han sitter där livs levande, men för dem är han snart borta för alltid. Han vädjar till dem, de vädjar till honom, men de kan inte nå varandra. Det finns ingen kompromiss i det här, Erik måste få leva. Då måste han då dö för dem. Erik Engelv dödförklarades av sin familj när han kom ut som homosexuell. För ett Jehovas vittne kommer Gud före allt, även familjeband. Så han dog – och föddes på nytt. ”Jag är inte död” är Eriks kärleksförklaring. I ett slags brev till sin mamma berättar han om allt hon missar. Det är också en vacker skildring av en trygg och lycklig uppväxt i ett litet jämtländskt samhälle, skriven med en unik inblick i Jehovas vittnen. En varm gemenskap som plötsligt byts mot ett iskallt utanförskap. Men Erik är inte död, han lever sitt liv. ***** Viktig, smärtsam och vacker bok. ***** Finner inte ord men man kan nästan ta på smärtan författaren måste känna att vara levande död. ***** En utelämnande och naken berättelse. En bok alla borde läsa. All kärlek till dig Erik.

An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity.What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy.Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that “not wanting sex” was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything “right,” only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen’s careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness.

In the Berlin of 1942, Lilly Wust was married to a soldier and was the mother of four children. Her quiet domestic life was forever changed when she met and fell in love with Jewish Felice Schragenheim. Aimee and Jaguar, as the two called one another, embarked on an ecstatic affair, exchanging letters and poems and even signing a marriage contract. After only a year, their happiness was destroyed by the Gestapo: Felice was taken away to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Lilly received a last letter from Felice in 1945. Erica Fisher has documented this extraordinary story after spending countless hours talking to 80-year-old Lilly, and to friends and acquaintances of the two women. Her account, together with a collection of photographs, is a witness to an unusual love in a time of extremes.
Bi- och pansexualitet : dåtid, nutid, framtid

280 kr
Bisexualitet är den näst vanligaste sexuella läggningen, ändå saknas ofta såväl kunskap som berättelser att relatera till. Det bidrar till att bi- och pansexuella upplever ohälsa i större utsträckning än homo- och heterosexuella. Som bi- eller pansexuell riskerar man att möta okunskap och ifrågasättanden från både majoritetssamhället och andra hbtqi-personer.

Det är hög tid att prata mer om bi och pan. Inte bara om utmaningar och ojämlik hälsa utan också om möjligheter, gemenskap och identitet. Vad är viktigt för att må bra? Hur skiljer sig bisexualitet från pansexualitet? Finns det en bi/pan-rörelse i Sverige? Varför osynliggörs ofta bi/pan? Bi- och pansexualitet erbjuder en gedigen kunskapsbas och introducerar även fördjupande perspektiv. Genom personliga berättelser, forskning och yrkeserfarenhet ges en samlad bild av bi- och pansexuellas vardag, historia och hälsa i en svensk kontext.

Boken vänder sig till dig som vill lära dig mer om bi- och pansexualitet, som privatperson eller i din yrkesroll.

Edward Summanen är socionom och genusvetare som arbetat med hälsa och livsvillkor för hbtqi-personer sedan 2008. Han har skrivit flera böcker med fokus på hbtqi-frågor, bland annat var han en av redaktörerna för Trans – fakta, forskning och erfarenheter som tilldelades Prisma Litteraturpris 2023.

Sagt om boken:

”Boken är både välstrukturerad och lättillgänglig. Den är sakligt och kortfattat skriven utan att upplevas som torr.”Tove Mogren, Svensk Psykiatri nr 3, 2025

”Den här boken består av olika delar som pedagogiskt förklarar relevanta begrepp, sammanfattar forskning om bi- och pansexualitet och lyfter såväl historiska som nutida diskussioner. Utan att tumma på varje individs rätt till självidentifikation lyckas Summanen förklara bi- och pansexualitet på ett sätt som är lätt att ta till sig. Den här boken är utan tvekan ett måste i händerna på såväl kuratorer, lärare och en rad andra yrken. Och i händerna på hbtqia-personer själva, förstås.” Helhetsbetyg 5/5.Camilla Bergvall, BTJ-häftet nr 10, 2025

Arne Nilsson växte upp i folkhemstidens Göteborg. Som inte ”riktig” kille och bög skaffade han sig olika strategier för att navigera i en heteronormativ och homofob värld. Som att vara till lags, få andra att känna sig bekväma och skapa tystnader. När han blev äldre blev de mer till förfång och han drabbades av ångest. Med hjälp av flera års psykoterapi lyckades han fyrtio år gammal på darrande ben stå upp för sig själv. Hur skulle det gå för honom? I Bög för livet berättar han om sin fortsatta livsresa. Om ett homoliv i skuggan av hiv och aids. Ett liv som rymde såväl tvåsamhet som cruising. Han berättar om sin väg från utredare till en av den svenska queerforskningens pionjärer. Hur han tog sig ut i världen som turist, forskningsresande och aktivist, till storstäder, regnskogar, queera badorter, Palestina … Han berättar om förlusten av sin livspartner och om sitt liv som åldrande singelbög.

'This book will make you love her as much as I do' FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON 'Breath-taking courage and compassion [...]a beautiful book' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'A renegade Florence Nightingale cares for the ill in a remarkable tale of compassion and combating prejudice'GUARDIAN 'An extraordinary tale' EVENING STANDARD 'If I have one message with this book it's that we all have to care for one another. Today, not just in 1986. Life is about caring for each other, and I learned more about life from the dying than I ever learned from the living. It's in an elephant ride, it's in those wildflowers dancing on their way to the shared grave of two men in love, and it's in caring for that young man who just needed information without judgement.' In 1986, 26-year-old Ruth Coker Burks visits a friend in hospital when she notices that the door to one of the patient's rooms is painted red. The nurses are reluctant to enter, drawing straws to decide who will tend to the sick person inside. Out of impulse, Ruth herself enters the quarantined space and begins to care for the young man who cries for his mother in the last moments of his life. And in doing so, Ruth's own life changes forever. As word spreads in the community that she is the only person willing to help the young men afflicted by the growing AIDS crisis, Ruth goes from being an ordinary young mother to an accidental activist. Forging deep friendships with the men she helps, Ruth works to find them housing and jobs, and then funeral homes willing to take their bodies - often in the middle of the night. She prepares and delivers meals to 'her guys,' supplementing her own income with discarded food found in the dumpsters behind supermarkets. She defies local pastors and the medical community to store rare medications for her most urgent patients, and teaches sex education to drag queens after hours at secret bars. Emboldened by the weight of their collective pain, she fervently advocates for their safety and visibility, ultimately advising Governor Bill Clinton on the national HIV-AIDS crisis, and in doing so becomes a beacon of hope to an otherwise spurned group of ailing gay men on the fringes of society. Ruth kept her story a secret for years, fearful of repercussions within her deeply conservative community. But at a time when it's more important than ever to stand up for those who can't, Ruth has found the courage to have her voice - and the voices of those who were stigmatised, rejected and abandoned - heard.

Reinaldo Arenas was born to a poverty-stricken family in rural Cuba. By the time of his death in New York four decades later, he had become one of Cuba's most important poets, an outspoken critic of Castro's regime and one of the leading gay voices of the twentieth century. In Before Night Falls, Arenas tells of his odyssey from young rebel fighting for the Revolution, through his suppression as a writer, his disillusionment with Castro, his imprisonment and torture, to his eventual exile from Cuba to New York, where in 1987 he was diagnosed with AIDS. He committed suicide in 1990, ending a life of constant struggle against repression. In a farewell note, Arenas wrote: Due to my delicate state of health and to the terrible depression that causes me not to be able to continue writing and struggling for the freedom of Cuba, I am ending my life ... I do not want to convey to you a message of defeat, but of continued struggle and hope.Cuba will be free. I already am.(signed)Reinaldo Arenas

Anna Karin Hammars och Ninna Edgardhs kärleksresa utspelar sig mot bakgrund av en omvälvande tid i Sverige gällande samkönade relationer: från den brottsklassificering som fortfarande gällde årtiondet innan de föds, via föreställningen om ”homosexualitet” som en sjukdom fram till könsneutral äktenskapslagstiftning och samtidens stolta Pridetåg.

I boken Äkta makor delar de med sig av sina personliga resor som queerpersoner, skildrar initierat samhällets och kyrkans ibland motstridiga väg fram till en förändrad inställning till hbtq och gör också en vidare utblick med korta nedslag om situationen för hbtq-personer i andra delar av världen – och den backlash som blivit synlig under senare år. "Vi märker att yngre vänner, och särskilt sådana som inte själva tillhör hbtq-gemenskapen, vet ganska lite om historien bakom den situation vi har i Sverige idag när det gäller samkönade relationer. Det är ett skäl till att vi skriver denna bok. Barnens och barnbarnens generation behöver veta hur vi tagit oss till den punkt där vi nu befinner oss. Annars blir det svårt att försvara rättigheterna när de hotas." - ur innehållet Ninna Edgardh är präst och professor emerita i kyrkovetenskap och författare till böcker och artiklar med inriktning på kyrka, samhälle och kön. Anna Karin Hammar är präst och teologie doktor och har arbetat på många nivåer i kyrkan, både i Sverige och internationellt.

Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.

"Det är en skimrande pärla av oberättad historia som förhoppningsvis inte kommer gå spårlöst förbi /---/ Det finns böcker som redan när man läst första sidan vet kommer att betyda något för en. Man känner en inre upphetsning som när en dörr som inte bara varit stängd utan som man kanske inte ens visste fanns, plötsligt öppnar sig och bjuder en att stiga in. Sam Hultins Eva-Lisas monument är just en sådan bok." - Jonas Gardell, Expressen
"Boken är ett vackert och medmänskligt porträtt över en person som innerligt kämpade för att få vara sig själv, men som aldrig glömde bort att se andra. /---/ Det är en otroligt välskriven berättelse som berör läsaren från första till sista sidan." - BTJ
2016 kommer konstnären Sam Hultin i kontakt med Eva-Lisa Bengtson, en pionjär inom den svenska transrörelsen, lesbisk feminist och medgrundare av Kvinnohuset i Stockholm. Det ska visa sig att hon har en skatt hemma, ett personligt arkiv över sitt liv som aktivist och en berättelse som få ens hört talas om. I sin bok om Eva-Lisa skildrar Hultin både en djupt personlig historia och ett samhälles utveckling.
Vi följer striderna, men bjuds också in till rökstimmiga partyn i källarlokaler och dansstudior, dramatiska aktioner med Lesbisk Front och ett gnetigt föreningsliv som ändå präglas av gemenskap och solidaritet.
Berättelsen om Eva-Lisa får oss att upptäcka de som alltid varit där. I små, diskreta samlingslokaler. I radhus med välstrukna gardiner. Vid ett skrivbord på ett byråkratiskt kontor någonstans i Sverige. En undangömd historia lyfts äntligen fram i ljuset.

Frågan om samkönade äktenskap i frikyrkan en av de hetaste och riskerar att splittra frikyrkliga samfund i Sverige. En framgångsrik lobby driver HBTQ-frågorna och fastän frågan berör ytterst få församlingar drivs ändå frågan med stor energi av samfundsledningar. Hur blev det så här? Den här boken visar på sambandet mellan en allt liberalare bibelsyn och en liberal syn på äktenskap och HBTQ. Boken klargör vad Bibeln säger om äktenskapet och samkönade relationer. Boken innehåller bland annat: Frågor och svar HBTQ, frikyrkan och en liberalare bibelsyn Äktenskapet – Guds välsignade plan Sambo i Bibeln? Homosexuella handlingar: vad säger Bibeln? Kan bibeltro och HBTQ förenas?

Normal Life
Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law
AvDean Spade
Häftad, Engelska, 2015
264 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Revised and Expanded EditionWait-what's wrong with rights? It is usually assumed that trans and gender nonconforming people should follow the civil rights and "equality" strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations by agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee nondiscrimination and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the best way to address the poverty and criminalization that plague trans populations is to gain legal recognition and inclusion in the state's institutions. But is this strategy effective?In Normal Life Dean Spade presents revelatory critiques of the legal equality framework for social change, and points to examples of transformative grassroots trans activism that is raising demands that go beyond traditional civil rights reforms. Spade explodes assumptions about what legal rights can do for marginalized populations, and describes transformative resistance processes and formations that address the root causes of harm and violence.In the new afterword to this revised and expanded edition, Spade notes the rapid mainstreaming of trans politics and finds that his predictions that gaining legal recognition will fail to benefit trans populations are coming to fruition. Spade examines recent efforts by the Obama administration and trans equality advocates to "pinkwash" state violence by articulating the US military and prison systems as sites for trans inclusion reforms. In the context of recent increased mainstream visibility of trans people and trans politics, Spade continues to advocate for the dismantling of systems of state violence that shorten the lives of trans people. Now more than ever, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require.

'Powerful and provocative' - Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the Sunday Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist'A MUST read for any white women who consider themselves "feminist"' - Scarlett Curtis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Feminists Don't Wear Pink 'An explosive and revelatory argument for deconstructing and confronting the entrenched notions of white supremacy and superiority that still reign today.' - Mireille Harper 'How is it that we have been so conditioned to privilege the emotional comfort of white people?'White tears possess a potency that is rarely acknowledged or commented upon, but they have long been used as a dangerous and insidious tool against people of colour, weaponised in order to invoke sympathy and divert blame. Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep 'ownership' of their slaves, through centuries of colonialism, when women offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, in which tears serve as a defense to counter accusations of bias and micro-aggressions, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women's active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long-overdue validation of the experiences of women of colour and an urgent call-to-arms in the need for true intersectionality.With rigour and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialised within, a reality that we must all apprehend in order to fight.

Denna bok handlar om fetischism i den sexualvetenskapliga bemärkelsen: Sexualitet där attraktion ges av något föremål bortom kön. Boken återger fetischistisk sexualitet på ett inkluderande och normmedvetet sätt. Den ger en historisk bakgrund till samhällets synsätt på fetischism och synliggör nutida sexualnormer som marginaliserar sexuella minoriteter. Boken granskar samhälleliga förhållningssätt till fetischism och belyser den sociokulturella situationen som fetischister sätts i. En medvetenhet om fetischism och nutida sexualnormer gör det möjligt att förhålla sig till sexuell mångfald i stort.

Välkommen till queerteologins förunderliga värld! Kristen tro och queerhet kan vid första anblicken verka som en oväntad kombo. Men kyrkan har alltid haft queera marginaler och heliga regnbågsfärgade rum. Här finns en queerteologisk tradition av bibelverser där queers förvaltat sin relation med Gud. I den här serieboken kommer vi utforska den hemliga trädgården där queer kristen tro spirar. Och såklart gå igenom queerteologiska perspektiv på skapelsen, vad Jesus sa som är bekräftande för hbtqia-personer idag, plattmaskar, Jesajas kallelse, dinosaurie-tröjor, Gud och vad en luthersk syn på kallelse kan innebära för transpersoner. Det vill säga queerteologi, typ.

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear-and those that do not-as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts-by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon-with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions.

‘Erudite and sumptuous’ – The New York TimesA groundbreaking, global survey of queer art, featuring more than 300 artworks made following the introduction of the term ‘homosexual’ in 1869An unprecedented and historic new book, The First Homosexuals traces the evolution of the homosexual identity through an archive of more than 300 paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and film stills from around the world – many presented in a queer, global, and colonial context for the first time. Accompanying the works are twenty-two original, insightful essays by leading experts in art and queer history, each focusing on one geographical region – from Japan to Australia to the Indigenous populations of South America. Ranging from well-known masterpieces to works by unknown artists and pieces rarely considered in the context of sexuality, The First Homosexuals offers a stunning and illuminating look at the first self-consciously queer art.

Frågan huruvida det är okej att vara gay har livligt diskuterats i kyrkan sen urminnes tider, kanske ända sen Jesus gick i kortbyxor. Är du nyfiken på hbtq-vänlig bibelläsning men inte pallar att läsa en torr tråkig avhandling om Bibelns grundtexter, Paulus samtid och romarrikets sexualetik? I så fall är det här boken för dig. I gott sällskap av räkor och filosofi-gubbar i toga går vi igenom det man behöver veta om Bibel, teologi och historia för att kunna svara på frågan om det funkar att vara kristen och homosexuell. Ja, det funkar alldeles utmärkt, häng med så får du veta hur!

Årets bok på QX Gaygala 2023
En utbildande och dråplig instruktionsbok om att leva som queer idag.
På tal om det: Vad betyder ens queer, varför beskylldes vår första homosexuella kung för digerdöden och hur ser villkoren ut för HBTQI-personer i andra länder? Journalisten och programledaren Edvin Törnblom blandar fakta och historia med djupt personliga berättelser om hur han formats som människa – från de allra mörkaste stunderna med mobbing och självmordsförsök till inspirerande händelser som fått honom att landa i acceptans och kärlek. Allt formulerat med Edvins unika humor, som gjort honom till en framstående röst för sin generation.
”… det är ofiltrerat, ärligt och humoristiskt … en välbehövlig storebror för den som likt Törnblom saknar hbtq-förebilder under uppväxten.” BTJ
”Den prydliga lilla boken gör det som ens mattelärare försökte göra hela högstadiet: makes learning fun. Tung och viktig (!!) fakta om hur hbtqi-personer har upplevt och fortfarande upplever förtryck blandas med Edvins träffsäkra humor och för mig till en otroligt trygg plats – en plats fylld av igenkänning.” Tidningen Ergo

'Odets's warm and lyrical voice, his inspiring picture of how imaginative gay life can be, has sent me queuing for the couch.' Evening Standard'A gay man could read this book as if his life depended on it - and perhaps it does' Andrew Holleran, author of Dancer from the DanceEven in our modern progressive world, it's not easy to be a gay man. While young men often come out more readily, even those from the most liberal of backgrounds still struggle to accept themselves and experience stigma, shame and difficulties with intimate relationships. They also suffer from ongoing trauma wrought by the AIDS epidemic, something that is all too often relegated to history.Drawing on a lifetime's work as a clinical psychologist, Walt Odets uses the stories of his patients as well as those of his own deep relationships with other gay men to illuminate how these difficulties may be overcome. From a 74-year-old who only felt able to come out after his wife had died, to the boy raised in a strict religious family who worked his way to San Francisco, to the middle-aged defence lawyer who left everything behind to embrace a new life, the experiences here explore everything from grief to survival, childhood pain to the definition of gay itself. Out of the Shadows shows us how a new way forward is possible through learning to accept ourselves and others as they are, and independently inventing our own lives.

*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*An intimate, hilarious memoir of art, friendship, queerness, and found family by Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, stars of The L Word—including never-before-shared stories and photos from behind the scenes of the show and their personal lives. "Are you comfortable with nudity?" my manager asked.In the early 2000s, Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey—both young artists trying to figure it all out—met at auditions for an unknown little TV show. Given that it was a show about lesbians living in Los Angeles, with the first ever ensemble cast of openly queer female characters, Kate and Leisha knew the project was going to be unlike anything else out there—that is, if it even got picked up.Then, one million people watched the premiere. The show, which came to be called The L Word, turned into a trailblazing phenomenon. Its influence on pop culture, in the political arena, and in the lives of viewers has been lasting, impactful, even life-saving. And in addition to changing the course of television history, The L Word changed Kate and Leisha's lives forever. Suddenly, they were the faces of lesbian culture in a society still hostile to queerness. And one of them wasn't even out yet.Luckily, they had each other. From their first day on set, Kate and Leisha were so inseparable that the cast joked they were like a pair of pants—you couldn't have one leg without the other. Hence the name for their branded partnership and podcast, PANTS, launched in 2020 and downloaded over twenty million times.This friendship has seen Kate and Leisha through their greatest triumphs and most painful moments, stumbling from closeted queer kids to LGBTQ+ activists, actors, podcasters, and business owners. Full of never-before-shared glimpses into the making of The L Word, Kate and Leisha's real-life loves and losses, and their experiences as queer icons, So Gay for You is a heartfelt, inspiring love letter to a ride or die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family.

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2019‘Richly evocative and entertaining.’ – Guardian‘A delightful read.’ – Tatler‘An essential book for anyone who wants to Polari Bona!’ – AttitudePolari is a language that was used chiefly by gay men in the first half of the twentieth century. It offered its speakers a degree of public camouflage and a means of identification. Its colourful roots are varied – from Cant to Lingua Franca to dancers’ slang – and in the mid-1960s it was thrust into the limelight by the characters Julian and Sandy, voiced by Hugh Paddick and Kenneth Williams, on the BBC radio show Round the Horne. (‘Oh hello Mr Horne, how bona to vada your dolly old eek!’) Paul Baker recounts the story of Polari with skill, humour and tenderness. He traces its historical origins and describes its linguistic nuts and bolts, explores the ways and the environments in which it was spoken, explains the reasons for its decline and tells of its unlikely re-emergence in the twenty-first century. With a cast of drag queens and sailors, Dilly boys and macho clones, Fabulosa! is an essential document of recent history – a fascinating and fantastically readable account of this funny, filthy and ingenious language.

Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life
A History of Sex and Science
AvRoss Brooks

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A revelatory history of sex, gender, and science from Linnaeus to DarwinWhat did Darwin and Linnaeus really think about sex? In print, their descriptions of animal courtship painted a comfortingly traditional picture: males were belligerent show-offs, females were choosy and skittish, and the two came together in unions curiously akin to human marriage. But in truth, the forefathers of evolutionary science were acutely aware that this was not the whole story. The reality was far more messy and ambiguous.In this iconoclastic history, Ross Brooks shows how queerness was at the heart of evolutionists’ thinking about the natural world. From hermaphroditic slugs and sex-changing birds to male pigeon lactation, pregnant male seahorses, and bisexual pigs, Darwin and his fellow naturalists were privately in awe of nature’s sexual diversity. These encounters fundamentally shaped their understanding of plants, animals, and humans, even if they were never fully acknowledged in their published writings.Brooks radically exposes us to the hidden queerness of Georgian and Victorian science—and shows how nature has always been more sexually diverse than we’ve been told.
Terrorist Assemblages
Homonationalism in Queer Times
AvJasbir K. Puar

347 kr
Skickas
Tenth Anniversary Expanded EditionTen years on, Jasbir K. Puar’s pathbreaking Terrorist Assemblages remains one of the most influential queer theory texts and continues to reverberate across multiple political landscapes, activist projects, and scholarly pursuits. Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class, and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism. She examines how liberal politics incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state, shifting queers from their construction as figures of death to subjects tied to ideas of life and productivity. This tenuous inclusion of some queer subjects depends, however, on the production of populations of Orientalized terrorist bodies. Heteronormative ideologies that the U.S. nation-state has long relied on are now accompanied by what Puar calls homonationalism-a fusing of homosexuality to U.S. pro-war, pro-imperialist agendas. As a concept and tool of biopolitical management, homonationalism is here to stay. Puar’s incisive analyses of feminist and queer responses to the Abu Ghraib photographs, the decriminalization of sodomy in the wake of the Patriot Act, and the profiling of Sikh Americans and South Asian diasporic queers are not instances of a particular historical moment; rather, they are reflective of the dynamics saturating power, sexuality, race, and politics today. This Tenth Anniversary Expanded Edition features a new foreword by Tavia Nyong’o and a postscript by Puar entitled “Homonationalism in Trump Times.” Nyong’o and Puar recontextualize the book in light of the current political moment while reposing its original questions to illuminate how Puar’s interventions are even more vital and necessary than ever.

”Hej mamma. Jag är inte död. Jag skrev ett brev till dig, som blev en hel bok.” Eriks föräldrar kommer med begravningsfika. Tårta, kaffe och en bukett rosor. De ska ta farväl av sin son. Han sitter där livs levande, men för dem är han snart borta för alltid. Han vädjar till dem, de vädjar till honom, men de kan inte nå varandra. Det finns ingen kompromiss i det här, Erik måste få leva. Då måste han då dö för dem. Erik Engelv dödförklarades av sin familj när han kom ut som homosexuell. För ett Jehovas vittne kommer Gud före allt, även familjeband. Så han dog – och föddes på nytt. ”Jag är inte död” är Eriks kärleksförklaring. I ett slags brev till sin mamma berättar han om allt hon missar. Det är också en vacker skildring av en trygg och lycklig uppväxt i ett litet jämtländskt samhälle, skriven med en unik inblick i Jehovas vittnen. En varm gemenskap som plötsligt byts mot ett iskallt utanförskap. Men Erik är inte död, han lever sitt liv. ***** Viktig, smärtsam och vacker bok. ***** Finner inte ord men man kan nästan ta på smärtan författaren måste känna att vara levande död. ***** En utelämnande och naken berättelse. En bok alla borde läsa. All kärlek till dig Erik.

An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity.What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy.Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that “not wanting sex” was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything “right,” only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen’s careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness.

In the Berlin of 1942, Lilly Wust was married to a soldier and was the mother of four children. Her quiet domestic life was forever changed when she met and fell in love with Jewish Felice Schragenheim. Aimee and Jaguar, as the two called one another, embarked on an ecstatic affair, exchanging letters and poems and even signing a marriage contract. After only a year, their happiness was destroyed by the Gestapo: Felice was taken away to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Lilly received a last letter from Felice in 1945. Erica Fisher has documented this extraordinary story after spending countless hours talking to 80-year-old Lilly, and to friends and acquaintances of the two women. Her account, together with a collection of photographs, is a witness to an unusual love in a time of extremes.
Bi- och pansexualitet : dåtid, nutid, framtid

280 kr
Bisexualitet är den näst vanligaste sexuella läggningen, ändå saknas ofta såväl kunskap som berättelser att relatera till. Det bidrar till att bi- och pansexuella upplever ohälsa i större utsträckning än homo- och heterosexuella. Som bi- eller pansexuell riskerar man att möta okunskap och ifrågasättanden från både majoritetssamhället och andra hbtqi-personer.

Det är hög tid att prata mer om bi och pan. Inte bara om utmaningar och ojämlik hälsa utan också om möjligheter, gemenskap och identitet. Vad är viktigt för att må bra? Hur skiljer sig bisexualitet från pansexualitet? Finns det en bi/pan-rörelse i Sverige? Varför osynliggörs ofta bi/pan? Bi- och pansexualitet erbjuder en gedigen kunskapsbas och introducerar även fördjupande perspektiv. Genom personliga berättelser, forskning och yrkeserfarenhet ges en samlad bild av bi- och pansexuellas vardag, historia och hälsa i en svensk kontext.

Boken vänder sig till dig som vill lära dig mer om bi- och pansexualitet, som privatperson eller i din yrkesroll.

Edward Summanen är socionom och genusvetare som arbetat med hälsa och livsvillkor för hbtqi-personer sedan 2008. Han har skrivit flera böcker med fokus på hbtqi-frågor, bland annat var han en av redaktörerna för Trans – fakta, forskning och erfarenheter som tilldelades Prisma Litteraturpris 2023.

Sagt om boken:

”Boken är både välstrukturerad och lättillgänglig. Den är sakligt och kortfattat skriven utan att upplevas som torr.”Tove Mogren, Svensk Psykiatri nr 3, 2025

”Den här boken består av olika delar som pedagogiskt förklarar relevanta begrepp, sammanfattar forskning om bi- och pansexualitet och lyfter såväl historiska som nutida diskussioner. Utan att tumma på varje individs rätt till självidentifikation lyckas Summanen förklara bi- och pansexualitet på ett sätt som är lätt att ta till sig. Den här boken är utan tvekan ett måste i händerna på såväl kuratorer, lärare och en rad andra yrken. Och i händerna på hbtqia-personer själva, förstås.” Helhetsbetyg 5/5.Camilla Bergvall, BTJ-häftet nr 10, 2025

Arne Nilsson växte upp i folkhemstidens Göteborg. Som inte ”riktig” kille och bög skaffade han sig olika strategier för att navigera i en heteronormativ och homofob värld. Som att vara till lags, få andra att känna sig bekväma och skapa tystnader. När han blev äldre blev de mer till förfång och han drabbades av ångest. Med hjälp av flera års psykoterapi lyckades han fyrtio år gammal på darrande ben stå upp för sig själv. Hur skulle det gå för honom? I Bög för livet berättar han om sin fortsatta livsresa. Om ett homoliv i skuggan av hiv och aids. Ett liv som rymde såväl tvåsamhet som cruising. Han berättar om sin väg från utredare till en av den svenska queerforskningens pionjärer. Hur han tog sig ut i världen som turist, forskningsresande och aktivist, till storstäder, regnskogar, queera badorter, Palestina … Han berättar om förlusten av sin livspartner och om sitt liv som åldrande singelbög. Och hur det gick med de där strategierna. Bög för livet är en fristående fortsättning på memoarerna Bög i folkhemmet och Bög på klassresa.

'This book will make you love her as much as I do' FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON 'Breath-taking courage and compassion [...]a beautiful book' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'A renegade Florence Nightingale cares for the ill in a remarkable tale of compassion and combating prejudice'GUARDIAN 'An extraordinary tale' EVENING STANDARD 'If I have one message with this book it's that we all have to care for one another. Today, not just in 1986. Life is about caring for each other, and I learned more about life from the dying than I ever learned from the living. It's in an elephant ride, it's in those wildflowers dancing on their way to the shared grave of two men in love, and it's in caring for that young man who just needed information without judgement.' In 1986, 26-year-old Ruth Coker Burks visits a friend in hospital when she notices that the door to one of the patient's rooms is painted red. The nurses are reluctant to enter, drawing straws to decide who will tend to the sick person inside. Out of impulse, Ruth herself enters the quarantined space and begins to care for the young man who cries for his mother in the last moments of his life. And in doing so, Ruth's own life changes forever. As word spreads in the community that she is the only person willing to help the young men afflicted by the growing AIDS crisis, Ruth goes from being an ordinary young mother to an accidental activist. Forging deep friendships with the men she helps, Ruth works to find them housing and jobs, and then funeral homes willing to take their bodies - often in the middle of the night. She prepares and delivers meals to 'her guys,' supplementing her own income with discarded food found in the dumpsters behind supermarkets. She defies local pastors and the medical community to store rare medications for her most urgent patients, and teaches sex education to drag queens after hours at secret bars. Emboldened by the weight of their collective pain, she fervently advocates for their safety and visibility, ultimately advising Governor Bill Clinton on the national HIV-AIDS crisis, and in doing so becomes a beacon of hope to an otherwise spurned group of ailing gay men on the fringes of society. Ruth kept her story a secret for years, fearful of repercussions within her deeply conservative community. But at a time when it's more important than ever to stand up for those who can't, Ruth has found the courage to have her voice - and the voices of those who were stigmatised, rejected and abandoned - heard.

Reinaldo Arenas was born to a poverty-stricken family in rural Cuba. By the time of his death in New York four decades later, he had become one of Cuba's most important poets, an outspoken critic of Castro's regime and one of the leading gay voices of the twentieth century. In Before Night Falls, Arenas tells of his odyssey from young rebel fighting for the Revolution, through his suppression as a writer, his disillusionment with Castro, his imprisonment and torture, to his eventual exile from Cuba to New York, where in 1987 he was diagnosed with AIDS. He committed suicide in 1990, ending a life of constant struggle against repression. In a farewell note, Arenas wrote: Due to my delicate state of health and to the terrible depression that causes me not to be able to continue writing and struggling for the freedom of Cuba, I am ending my life ... I do not want to convey to you a message of defeat, but of continued struggle and hope.Cuba will be free. I already am.(signed)Reinaldo Arenas

Anna Karin Hammars och Ninna Edgardhs kärleksresa utspelar sig mot bakgrund av en omvälvande tid i Sverige gällande samkönade relationer: från den brottsklassificering som fortfarande gällde årtiondet innan de föds, via föreställningen om ”homosexualitet” som en sjukdom fram till könsneutral äktenskapslagstiftning och samtidens stolta Pridetåg.

I boken Äkta makor delar de med sig av sina personliga resor som queerpersoner, skildrar initierat samhällets och kyrkans ibland motstridiga väg fram till en förändrad inställning till hbtq och gör också en vidare utblick med korta nedslag om situationen för hbtq-personer i andra delar av världen – och den backlash som blivit synlig under senare år. "Vi märker att yngre vänner, och särskilt sådana som inte själva tillhör hbtq-gemenskapen, vet ganska lite om historien bakom den situation vi har i Sverige idag när det gäller samkönade relationer. Det är ett skäl till att vi skriver denna bok. Barnens och barnbarnens generation behöver veta hur vi tagit oss till den punkt där vi nu befinner oss. Annars blir det svårt att försvara rättigheterna när de hotas." - ur innehållet Ninna Edgardh är präst och professor emerita i kyrkovetenskap och författare till böcker och artiklar med inriktning på kyrka, samhälle och kön. Anna Karin Hammar är präst och teologie doktor och har arbetat på många nivåer i kyrkan, både i Sverige och internationellt.

Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.

"Det är en skimrande pärla av oberättad historia som förhoppningsvis inte kommer gå spårlöst förbi /---/ Det finns böcker som redan när man läst första sidan vet kommer att betyda något för en. Man känner en inre upphetsning som när en dörr som inte bara varit stängd utan som man kanske inte ens visste fanns, plötsligt öppnar sig och bjuder en att stiga in. Sam Hultins Eva-Lisas monument är just en sådan bok." - Jonas Gardell, Expressen
"Boken är ett vackert och medmänskligt porträtt över en person som innerligt kämpade för att få vara sig själv, men som aldrig glömde bort att se andra. /---/ Det är en otroligt välskriven berättelse som berör läsaren från första till sista sidan." - BTJ
2016 kommer konstnären Sam Hultin i kontakt med Eva-Lisa Bengtson, en pionjär inom den svenska transrörelsen, lesbisk feminist och medgrundare av Kvinnohuset i Stockholm. Det ska visa sig att hon har en skatt hemma, ett personligt arkiv över sitt liv som aktivist och en berättelse som få ens hört talas om. I sin bok om Eva-Lisa skildrar Hultin både en djupt personlig historia och ett samhälles utveckling.
Vi följer striderna, men bjuds också in till rökstimmiga partyn i källarlokaler och dansstudior, dramatiska aktioner med Lesbisk Front och ett gnetigt föreningsliv som ändå präglas av gemenskap och solidaritet.
Berättelsen om Eva-Lisa får oss att upptäcka de som alltid varit där. I små, diskreta samlingslokaler. I radhus med välstrukna gardiner. Vid ett skrivbord på ett byråkratiskt kontor någonstans i Sverige. En undangömd historia lyfts äntligen fram i ljuset.

Frågan om samkönade äktenskap i frikyrkan en av de hetaste och riskerar att splittra frikyrkliga samfund i Sverige. En framgångsrik lobby driver HBTQ-frågorna och fastän frågan berör ytterst få församlingar drivs ändå frågan med stor energi av samfundsledningar. Hur blev det så här? Den här boken visar på sambandet mellan en allt liberalare bibelsyn och en liberal syn på äktenskap och HBTQ. Boken klargör vad Bibeln säger om äktenskapet och samkönade relationer. Boken innehåller bland annat: Frågor och svar HBTQ, frikyrkan och en liberalare bibelsyn Äktenskapet – Guds välsignade plan Sambo i Bibeln? Homosexuella handlingar: vad säger Bibeln? Kan bibeltro och HBTQ förenas? Tio punkter om samkönade relationer Anders Gerdmar är docent i Nya testamentets exegetik vid Uppsala universitet, professor vid Southeastern University, Lakeland, Florida, USA och rektor för Skandinavisk teologisk högskola, Uppsala.
