No way, they were gay? : hidden lives and secret loves / by Wind, Lee,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 252-287) and index (pages 290-292)."History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves. That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt."--Provided by publisher.6-12.1110LA Junior Library Guild selection.

Becoming who I am : young men on being gay / by Savin-Williams, Ritch C.,author.(CARDINAL)756066;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Anthony -- Tell our stories -- Why am I gay? -- First sexual memory -- First arousal -- Sex play -- First crush -- Who's that girl? -- Who's that boy? -- The joy of puberty -- The good, the bad, the porn -- OMG! a wet dream -- Masturbation -- First girl sex -- First boy sex -- I'm gay-probably, certainly -- Something to tell you -- Hey mom, dad, bro, sis -- Mostly gay -- First love -- He's my soul man -- Being young and gay in America -- Postscript: Anthony's return."Savin-Williams's manuscript traces the lives of young gay men as they negotiated the transition from their teen years into adulthood. It focuses on key developmental milestones, including first sexual memories, first crushes, coming out to friends and families, and first adult relationships. The manuscript is drawn from in-depth interviews with 41 individuals from the "millennial" generation; each was interviewed multiple times across their teenage years into their early twenties. The author investigates how their senses of self and their public identities shifted across time, how their sexuality and sexual experiences did--and did not--affect their relationships with family, friends, and peers, how they dealt with new responsibilities, etc. He also uses the stories to shed light on the findings of recent research on gay youth, teenagers, and young adults"--

Frighten the horses : a memoir / by Radclyffe, Oliver,author.;
"A textured, sharply written memoir about coming of age in the fourth decade of one's life and embracing one's truest self in a world that demands gender fit in neat boxes. From the outside, Oliver Radclyffe spent four decades living an immensely privileged, beautifully composed life. As the daughter of two well-to-do British parents and the wife of a successful man from an equally privileged family, Oliver played the parts expected of him. He checked off every box-marriage, children (four), a white-picket fence surrounding a stately home in Connecticut, and a golden retriever. But beneath the shiny veneer, Oliver was desperately trying to stay afloat as he struggled to maintain a facade of normalcy. And between his hair falling out and incapacitating mood swings, Oliver realized the life of a trapped housewife was not one he was ever meant to live. Embarking on a fraught, challenging journey of self-discovery, Oliver navigates the end to the beautiful lie of his previous life-a life he could not continue if he wanted to survive. The story of a flawed, fascinating, gorgeously queer man, Frighten the Horses introduces Oliver Radclyffe as a witty, arresting, and unforgettable voice"--

I know you know who I am : stories / by Kispert, Peter,author.(CARDINAL)826089; Kispert, Peter.Puncture.; Kispert, Peter.River is to ocean as--is to heart.; Kispert, Peter.Human resources.; Kispert, Peter.Aim for the heart.; Kispert, Peter.Audition.; Kispert, Peter.How to live your best life.; Kispert, Peter.Please hold.; Kispert, Peter.Be alive.; Kispert, Peter.Breathing underwater.;
"In the linked and tightly thematic stories of I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO I AM, Kispert explores deception, performance, and the uneasiness of reconciling a queer identity with the wider world, with characters who try to navigate that dissonance by acting like another person for someone else. Throughout the collection we meet gay characters who have created sometimes elaborate falsehoods and who now must cope with the way that those deceptions eat at the very fabric of their lives and relationships. In the title story, the protagonist, desperate to save a love affair on the rocks, hires an actor to play an invented friend during an arranged meeting with his boyfriend; in "Aim for the Heart", the main character's lies about a hunting habit have left him with an unexpected deer carcass and the need to parse unsettling high school memories; in "Mooring", a trip back to the protagonist's unexpectedly dilapidated childhood home reveals the ways that he has warped the truth in his current relationship when describing his feelings about his father. Throughout the book, moments of deception collide with moments of high-stakes and at times hyper-real performance, creating a stunning portrait of queer characters searching for paths to intimacy and attempting to deal with their own vulnerability. I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO I AM is a densely woven collection about emotional damage in the tradition of Mary Gaitskill's BAD BEHAVIOR". --

Gay Berlin : birthplace of a modern identity / by Beachy, Robert,author.(CARDINAL)283558;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A detailed historical look at the surprising ways in which the uninhibited urban sexuality, sexual experimentation and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of sexual orientation and gay identity. Long known for the friendly company of its "warm brothers" (German slang for men who love other men), Berlin, even before the turn of the twentieth-century, was a place where educators, activists, and medical professionals could explore and begin to educate both themselves and Europe about new and emerging sexual identities. From Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German activist described by some as the world's first openly gay man, to the world of Berlin's vast homosexual subcultures-tolerated and monitored by the police commissioner through the "Department of Homosexuals and Blackmailers"-to a major sex scandal that enraptured the daily newspapers and shook the court of Emperor William II, and on through some of the world's first sex reassignment surgeries, Beachy deftly guides the reader through past events and developments that continue to shape and influence the way we think of sexuality to this day. Gay Berlin is certain to be considered a foundational study"--"A detailed historical look at the surprising ways in which the uninhibited urban sexuality, sexual experimentation and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of sexual orientation and gay identity"--

Beyond male and female : the gender identity spectrum / by Walker, Anita R.,author.(CARDINAL)826961; Tindall, Justin,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)823787;
Beyond Stereotypes -- Gender fluidity -- Words matter -- It's not new -- An ongoing conversation.Gender identity helps define who each of us is, but it's also complicated--especially for those who do not identify as male or female but as something more fluid. Beyond Male and Female: The Gender Identity Spectrum carefully explains terminology, the reality of living beyond traditional genders, and the real-life experiences of genderqueer people. Finding one's true self and living that truth openly are not always easy. But with the right tools, the path is easier. Understanding traditional male and female stereotypes helps genderqueer students and their allies to advocate and educate people about gender identities that are neither male nor female but infinitely more complex and beautiful. There's nothing new about people with gender fluid identities--history is full of examples. Today, however, people with non-binary genders are increasingly able to live openly and honestly as their true selves. This book points the way.
