Coming out in the workplace -- How to navigate social media and work -- Benefits for your partner -- Discrimination in the workplace -- Loving where you work.Living as an LGBTQ individual can be complicated, especially at work. You have rights, but you are not always protected when it comes to the workplace. While same-sex couples can get married in all states, there are no federal laws that protect LGBTQ individuals from discrimination in the workplace. Fewer than half of the states have laws that protect LGBTQ workers, and several have laws that specifically prohibit this type of protection. Coming out at work is a personal choice but one that can have serious consequences in the wrong environment. Laws will continue to improve for LGBTQ individuals over time, but in the meantime, it's important to keep standing up for who you are, no matter what. LGBTQ at Work: Your Personal and Working Life provides the tools and knowledge to make your own informed decisions.12+.

Latin American and Europe -- Middle East and Africa -- Asia and Oceania -- International LGBTQ issues -- International relations.With a world population of 7.5 billion, it's likely that there are hundreds of millions of LGBTQ people, many of whom live in places that are hostile to sexual and gender minorities. With 72 countries in which homosexuality is still illegal and 27 countries that now allow same-sex marriage, the range of conditions for LGBTQ people is wide. This book shows you the great global diversity within what we call the LGBTQ community. The culture of each society shapes how it interacts with LGBTQ people and how sexual and gender minorities see themselves. Inside, you'll find a breakdown of each region of the world--Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania--and how each region's history and culture shape its LGBTQ communities. You'll find out the state of LGBTQ rights in that region and where things are headed. In addition, you'll learn about issues that affect LGBTQ people across borders and the organizations that are working to solve those issues.

Queer networks : Ray Johnson's correspondence art / by Johnson, Ray,1927-1995,artist.(CARDINAL)169136; Kienle, Miriam,1979-author.(CARDINAL)876163; University of Minnesota.Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)855718;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-278) and index."Utilizing the postal service as his primary means of producing and circulating art, Ray Johnson cultivated an international community of friends and collaborators through which he advanced his idiosyncratic body of work. Highlighting his alternative modes of community building and playful antagonism toward art world protocols, Miriam Kienle demonstrates how Ray Johnson's correspondence art offers new ways of envisioning togetherness in today's highly commodified and deeply networked world"--"Ray Johnson (1927-1995) was a seminal Pop Art figure in the 1950s, an early conceptualist, and a pioneer of mail art. His preferred medium was collage, that quintessentially twentieth-century art form that reflects the increased (as the century wore on) collision of disparate visual and verbal information that bombards modern man. Integrating texts and images drawn from a multiplicity of sources -- from mass media to telephone conversations -- Johnson's innovativeness spread beyond the confines of the purely visual. He staged what Suzi Gablik described in Pop Art Redefined as perhaps the "first informal happening" and moved into mail art, artist books, graphic design, and sculpture, working in all modes simultaneously. Johnson not only operated in what Rauschenberg famously called "the gap between art and life," but he also erased the distinction between them. His entire being - a reflection of his obsessively creative mind - was actually one continuous "work of art." His works reflect his encyclopedic erudition, his promiscuous range of interests, and an uncanny proto-Google ability to discover connections between a myriad of images, facts, and people.Born in Detroit, Michigan on October 16, 1927, Johnson grew up in a working class neighborhood and attended an occupational high school where he enrolled in an advertising art program. He studied at the Detroit Art Institute and spent a summer in a drawing program at Ox-Bow School in Saugatuck, Michigan, an affiliate of the Art Institute of Chicago. Leaving Detroit in the summer of 1945, he matriculated at the progressive Black Mountain College, where he spent the next three years with the exception of the spring of 1946. He studied painting with former Bauhaus faculty Josef Albers and Lyonel Feininger, as well as Robert Motherwell. By the summer of 1948, Johnson had befriended summer visiting lecturers John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Willem de Kooning, Buckminster Fuller, and Richard Lippold and fellow student Ruth Asawa. He participated in "The Ruse of Medusa," the culmination of Cage's Satie Festival (characterized by scholar Martin Duberman as "a watershed event in the history of 'mixed-media'") with Cage, Cunningham, Fuller, the de Koonings, and Ruth Asawa, among others." -- Full biography at:Miriam Kienle is associate professor of art history in the School of Art and Visual Studies at the University of Kentucky.
