Entre azul y buenas noches / by Flores, Samantha,author.; Rodriguez, Antoine,author.; Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial,publisher.(CARDINAL)613933;
"Esta es la autobiografía de Samantha Flores, trans-activista mexicana, nacida en 1932 en Orizaba, Veracruz; fundadora de Laetus Vitae, la primera casa de día totalmente gratuita de la Ciudad de México, y de América Latina, para gente mayor LGBTQ+. Bautizada Vicente Aurelio, Samantha se encamina hacia los senderos de la masculinidad, por los cuales los tropiezos y las trampas son frecuentes: niño afeminado, sensible, es seducido, a sus doce años, por el atlético y viril David que le promete amor eterno en la iglesia de San José. A sus diecinueve años, deja Orizaba para emanciparse y liberarse en la Ciudad de México. Tras haber concluido sus estudios de hotelería, trabaja como recepcionista en varios hoteles, pero a Samantha le gusta el mundo de la farándula y de la diversión nocturna. Frecuenta los bares y antros de moda en los cuales circulan deseos y erotismos diversos. Ahí conoce a varias actrices y a la famosa Xóchitl, Reina travestide la noche, gracias a quien Vicente empieza a convertirse en Samantha, en los años sesenta, cuando la categoría «transgénero» aún no existía. Esta autobiografía es una escritura a cuatro manos. Antoine Rodríguez fungió como técnico para grabar el relato oral de Samantha, editarlo y restituirlo fielmente con el léxico, la prosodia y el ritmo particulares de la autobiógrafa. El epílogo da cuenta de los procesos de subjetivación de Samantha y propone una genealogía de las teorías acerca de las identidades trans. Esta autobiografía es el primer texto hispanoamericano de una mujer trans mayor de noventa años."--

The queer Evangelist : a socialist clergy's radically honest tale / by DiNovo, Cheri,1950-Author(local)tmpaut823099989393600;
A queer minister, politician and staunch activist for LGBTQ rights, Cheri DiNovo went from living on the streets as a teenager to performing the first legalized same-sex marriage registered in Canada in 2001. From rights for queer parents to banning conversion therapy, her story will inspire people (queer or ally) to not only resist the system--but change it. In The Queer Evangelist, Rev. Dr. Cheri DiNovo (CM) shares her origins as a young socialist activist in the 1960s, and her rise to ordained minister in the '90s and New Democratic member of provincial parliament. During her tenure representing Parkdale-High Park in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2006 to 2017, DiNovo passed more LGBTQ bills than anyone in Canadian history. She describes the behind-the-scenes details of major changes to Canadian law, including Toby's Law: the first Transgender Rights legislation in North America. She also passed bills banning conversion therapy, proclaiming parent equality for LGBTQ parents, and for enshrining Trans Day of Remembrance into Ontario law. Every year on November 20th in the legislature, the provincial government is mandated to observe a minute of silence while Trans murders and suicides are detailed. Interspersed with her political work, DiNovo describes her conversion to religious life with radical intimacy, including her theological work and her ongoing struggle with the Christian Right. Cheri DiNovo's story shows how queer people can be both people of faith and critics of religion, illustrating how one can resist and change repressive systems from within. "Living on the street, using drugs, abandoned by the adults in her life, all while identifying as 'queer' in a hostile world--any one of these things could have unravelled many of us. Cheri hauled herself up and not only survived but thrived. I love that this strong, brilliant, competent woman has told her story so honestly." -Kathleen Wynne, former premier of Ontario.

A place for us : a memoir / by Wolf, Brandon J.,author.(CARDINAL)874590;
"Growing up in rural Oregon, Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior, Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando, he found what he'd been searching for: belonging-in a community that was a safe space with people he'd come to call his chosen family. They taught Wolf how to love, and be loved, unconditionally. Then, on June 12, 2016, in an exhilarating refuge where Wolf and hundreds of others had discovered a liberating new normal, they were suddenly challenged with fighting for a way out-in order to survive. Overnight, everything was ripped away by chaos, panic, and fear. But the unimaginable tragedy also gave Wolf a new power: purpose. In this unforgettable coming-of-age memoir, Wolf shares his transformative journey from young outsider to galvanizing activist. Marshaling the compassion and strength of a community, Wolf explores how to get through the darkest times with healing, hope, and resistance. "With our backs against the wall," he writes, "we find a way out together.""--

Drastic dykes and accidental activists : queer women in the urban South / by Mims, La Shonda,author.(CARDINAL)880137;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-221) and index."After World War II, Atlanta and Charlotte emerged as leading urban centers in the South, redefining the region through their competing metropolitan identities. Both cities also served as home to queer communities who defined themselves in accordance with their urban surroundings and profited to varying degrees from the emphasis on economic growth. Uniting southern women's history with urban history, La Shonda Mims considers an imaginatively constructed archive including feminist newsletters and queer bar guides alongside sources revealing corporate boosterism and political rhetoric to explore the complex nature of lesbian life in the South"--
