Secret city : the hidden history of gay Washington / by Kirchick, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 664-802) and index.Comrades -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- Harry Truman -- Dwight Eisenhower -- John F. Kennedy - Lyndon B. Johnson -- Richard Nixon -- Gerald Ford -- Jimmy Carter -- Ronald Reagan -- George H.W. Bush -- Bill Clinton -- The gay century."For decades, the specter of homosexuality haunted Washington. The mere suggestion that a person might be gay destroyed reputations, ended careers, and ruined lives. At the height of the Cold War, fear of homosexuality became intertwined with the growing threat of international communism, leading to a purge of gay men and lesbians from the federal government. In the fevered atmosphere of political Washington, the secret "too loathsome to mention" paradoxically held enormous, terrifying power. Utilizing thousands of pages of declassified documents, interviews with over one hundred people, and material unearthed from presidential libraries and archives around the country, Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington, from FDR through Clinton is a chronicle of American politics like no other. Beginning with the tragic story of Sumner Welles, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's brilliant diplomatic advisor and the man at the center of "the greatest national scandal since the existence of the United States," award-winning journalist and author James Kirchick illuminates how the idea of homosexuality shaped each successive presidential administration, impacting everything from the creation of America's earliest civilian intelligence agency to the rise and fall of McCarthyism, the struggle for African American civil rights, and the conservative movement. Celebrating the men and women who courageously decided that the source of their private shame could instead be galvanized for public pride, Kirchick offers a reinterpretation of American history told from the perspective of the citizens who lived in its shadows. Sweeping in scope and intimate in detail, Secret City will forever transform our understanding of American history."--

The American people. by Kramer, Larry,author.(CARDINAL)718819;
"In The American people: volume 2: The brutality of fact, Larry Kramer completes his radical reimagining of his country's history. Ranging from the brothels of 1950s Washington, D.C., to the activism of the 1980s and beyond, Kramer offers an elaborate phantasmagoria of bigoted conspirators in the halls of power and ordinary individuals suffering their consequences. With wit and bite, Kramer explores (among other things) the sex lives of every recent president; the complicated behavior of America's two greatest spies, J. Edgar Hoover and James Jesus Angleton; the rise of Sexopolis, the country's favorite magazine; and the genocidal activities of every branch of our health-care and drug-delivery systems. The American people: volume 2 is narrated by (among others) the writer Fred Lemish and his two friends -- Dr. Daniel Jerusalem, who works for America's preeminent health-care institution, and his twin brother, David Jerusalem, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp who was abused by many powerful men. Together they track a terrible plague that intensifies as the government ignores it and depict the bold and imaginative activists who set out to shock the nation's conscience. In Kramer's telling, the United States is dedicated to the proposition that very few men are created equal, and those who love other men may be destined for death. Here is a historical novel like no other -- satiric and impassioned and driven by an uncompromising moral and literary vision."--

Mean girl feminism : how White feminists gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss / by Nguyen, Kim Hong(Kim Hong Thanh),author.(CARDINAL)884719;
"Mean girl feminism encourages girls and women to be sassy, sarcastic, and ironic as feminist performance. Yet it coopts its affect, form, and content, from racialized oppression and protest while directing meanness toward people in marginalized groups. Kim Hong Nguyen examines four types of white mean girl feminism prominent in North American popular culture: the bitch, the mean girl, the power couple, and the global mother. White feminists mime the anger, disempowerment, and resistance felt by people of color and other marginalized groups. Their performance allows them to pursue and claim a special place within established power structures, present as intellectually superior, advance their girl squads and their partners as part of a politics of solidarity and community, and position themselves as better, more enlightened masters than men. But, as Nguyen argues, the racialized meanness found across pop culture opens possibilities for building an intersectional feminist politics that rejects performative civility in favor of turning anger into liberation"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Feminist civility and the right to be mean -- Bitch feminism : blackfaced girlboss in feminist performative/performativity politics -- Mean girl feminism : gatekeeping as illegible rage -- Power couple feminism : gaslighting and re-empowering heteronormative aggression -- Global mother feminism : gatekeeping biopower and sovereignty -- Conclusion: Abolishing mean girl feminism.

I finally bought some Jordans : essays / by Arceneaux, Michael,author.(CARDINAL)356837;
"In this collection, Arceneaux takes stock of how far he has traveled—and how much ground he still has to cover in this patriarchal, heteronormative society. He explores the opportunities afforded to Black creatives but also the doors that remain shut or ever-so-slightly ajar; the confounding challenges of dating in a time when social media has made everything both more accessible and more unreliable; and the allure of returning home while still pushing yourself to seek opportunity elsewhere."--

How sex changed the internet and the internet changed sex : an unexpected history / by Cole, Samantha(Journalist),author.(CARDINAL)862246;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 262-267) and index.Part 1.0: The revolution will be digitized -- The internet was built on sex -- Cyber-utopia, censorship, and tinysex -- Graphic images: the internet opens its eyes -- Webmasters of their own domains -- A brief history of online dating -- Part 2.0: Dollars and sense -- Porn 2.0 and the camgirl revolution -- The digital fig leaf: sexual censorship online -- Sex sells: classified ads -- Plug and play: internet-connected sex toys -- Algorithms, monopolies, and MindGeek -- Part 3.0: The end of the beginning -- Consider the "cybersex addict:" a virtual sexual education -- Rated M for mature: sex in online gaming -- Faking it: deepfakes, deep problems -- Fuck the system: crime and legislation -- The future of fucking online."From the moment there was an "online," there was sex online. The famous test image used by software engineers to develop formats like the jpeg was "Lena," taken from Playboy's November 1972 centerfold. Early bulletin boards and multi-user domains quickly came to serve their members' sexual musings. Facebook started as a way to rate "hot or not" Harvard co-eds. In fact, virtually every significant development that defines the Internet we know and love (and hate) today--privacy issues, online payments and online banking, dating, social media, streaming technology, mass data collection--came out of the meeting of sexuality and technology. And the kicker is, not only did sexuality vastly influence the Internet, but the Internet arguably changed modern human sexuality by giving every imaginable non-heteronormative community a place to explore, fantasize, thrive, and be accepted."--

The feminist agenda of Jemima Kincaid / by Hattemer, Kate,author.(CARDINAL)404015;
"Jemima Kincaid is a feminist, and she thinks you should be one, too. Her private school is laden with problematic traditions, but the worst of all is prom. The guys have all the agency; the girls have to wait around for "promposals" (she's speaking heteronormatively because only the hetero kids even go). In Jemima's (very opinionated) opinion, it's positively medieval. Then Jemima is named to Senior Triumvirate, alongside superstar athlete Andy and popular, manicured Gennifer, and the three must organize prom. Inspired by her feminist ideals and her desire to make a mark on the school, Jemima proposes a new structure. They'll do a Last Chance Dance: every student privately submits a list of crushes to a website that pairs them with any mutual matches. Meanwhile, Jemima finds herself embroiled in a secret romance that she craves and hates all at once. Her best friend, Jiyoon, has found romance of her own, but Jemima starts to suspect something else has caused the sudden rift between them. And is the new prom system really enough to extinguish the school's raging dumpster fire of toxic masculinity?"--Page [2] of cover.HL620L

Here for the wrong reasons : a novel / by Paulsen, Annabel,author.(CARDINAL)896933; Wang, Lydia(Editor),author.(CARDINAL)896934;
"Krystin knows exactly what she wants: a husband, a horse, and a place to hang all her competitive rodeo blue ribbons. But when none of the eligible bachelors in Montana end up being right for her, she turns to reality TV. On Hopelessly Devoted, Krystin will compete against dozens of other women for the heart of this season's Hopeless Romantic, Josh Rosen. She's determined to win the perfect life she came here for--if she can just ignore the glossy brunette whose crimson smile gives her goosebumps. Lauren has never done anything for the right reasons--and she's definitely not on Hopelessly Devoted to win Josh's heart. Lauren's plan is simple: stay on the show long enough to build her social media following, and then gracefully leave when it's her turn to be eliminated. With enough followers, she'll finally have the clout to do whatever she wants--including come out of the proverbial walk-in closet. But the longer she stays on the show, the more she finds herself tangled up in a certain blonde's lasso. But neither contestant expects a heteronormative dating show to challenge their own deeply-ingrained ideas of who they are--and what they want."--
