A different look at heterosexuality in the twenty-first century A straight white girl can kiss a girl, like it, and still call herself straight—her boyfriend may even encourage her. But can straight white guys experience the same easy sexual fluidity, or would kissing a guy just mean that they are really gay? Not Gay thrusts deep into a world where straight guy-on-guy action is not a myth but a reality: there’s fraternity and military hazing rituals, where new recruits are made to grab each other’s penises and stick fingers up their fellow members’ anuses; online personal ads, where straight men seek other straight men to masturbate with; and, last but not least, the long and clandestine history of straight men frequenting public restrooms for sexual encounters with other men. For Jane Ward, these sexual practices reveal a unique social space where straight white men can—and do—have sex with other straight white men; in fact, she argues, to do so reaffirms rather than challenges their gender and racial identity. Ward illustrates that sex between straight white men allows them to leverage whiteness and masculinity to authenticate their heterosexuality in the context of sex with men. By understanding their same-sex sexual practice as meaningless, accidental, or even necessary, straight white men can perform homosexual contact in heterosexual ways. These sex acts are not slippages into a queer way of being or expressions of a desired but unarticulated gay identity. Instead, Ward argues, they reveal the fluidity and complexity that characterizes all human sexual desire. In the end, Ward’s analysis offers a new way to think about heterosexuality—not as the opposite or absence of homosexuality, but as its own unique mode of engaging in homosexual sex, a mode characterized by pretense, dis-identification and racial and heterosexual privilege. Daring, insightful, and brimming with wit, Not Gay is a fascinating new take on the complexities of heterosexuality in the modern era.

“Heterosexuality,” assumed to denote a universal sexual and cultural norm, has been largely exempt from critical scrutiny. In this boldly original work, Jonathan Ned Katz challenges the common notion that the distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality has been a timeless one. Building on the history of medical terminology, he reveals that as late as 1923, the term “heterosexuality” referred to a "morbid sexual passion," and that its current usage emerged to legitimate men and women having sex for pleasure. Drawing on the works of Sigmund Freud, James Baldwin, Betty Friedan, and Michel Foucault, The Invention of Heterosexuality considers the effects of heterosexuality’s recently forged primacy on both scientific literature and popular culture. “Lively and provocative.”—Carol Tavris, New York Times Book Review “A valuable primer . . . misses no significant twists in sexual politics.”—Gary Indiana, Village Voice Literary Supplement “One of the most important—if not outright subversive—works to emerge from gay and lesbian studies in years.”—Mark Thompson, The Advocate

“I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

This intellectual history explores how the idea of manhood shaped French Canadian culture and Quebec’s nationalist movement. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, Quebec was an agrarian society, and masculinity was rooted in the land and the family and informed by Catholic principles of piety and self-restraint. As the industrial era took hold, a new model was forged, built on the values of secularism and individualism. Jeffery Vacante’s perceptive analysis reveals how French Canadian intellectuals defined masculinity in response to imperialist English Canadian ideals. This “national manhood” would be disentangled from the workplace, the family, and the land and tied instead to one’s cultural identity. The new formulation was crucial in the larger struggle to modernize Quebec’s institutions while preserving French Canadian community, faith, and culture. It offered French Canadian men a way to remodel themselves, participate in industrial modernity, and still assert cultural authority.

Zygmunt Bauman on Education in Liquid Modernity evaluates the contribution that Bauman has made to education studies. It outlines the central themes within social analysis in Bauman’s writings, and examines how researchers have applied his key ideas to explore current theoretical issues. The book focuses on Bauman’s ideas in relation to the management and consumption of education, including topics such as student voice and individual identity; relationships and inclusive education. Identifying and discussing underpinning assumptions about Bauman’s work and its application to education, the book addresses the connection between his work and wider debates, providing a critical and clarifying re-examination of Bauman’s contribution to the role of education within solid, post and liquid modernity. This book will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students of education theory and the sociology of education. It will be of great interest to readers seeking a critical appreciation and application of Bauman’s work to an educational context and Bauman scholars interested in the application of contemporary social theory to education and its role in identity formation in areas such as sex and relationships education.

Winner, 2021 PROSE Award in the Cultural Anthropology & Sociology Category Finalist, 2021 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies A troubling account of heterosexual desire in the era of #MeToo Heterosexuality is in crisis. Reports of sexual harassment, misconduct, and rape saturate the news in the era of #MeToo. Straight men and women spend thousands of dollars every day on relationship coaches, seduction boot camps, and couple’s therapy in a search for happiness. In The Tragedy of Heterosexuality, Jane Ward smartly explores what, exactly, is wrong with heterosexuality in the twenty-first century, and what straight people can do to fix it for good. She shows how straight women, and to a lesser extent straight men, have tried to mend a fraught patriarchal system in which intimacy, sexual fulfillment, and mutual respect are expected to coexist alongside enduring forms of inequality, alienation, and violence in straight relationships. Ward also takes an intriguing look at the multi-billion-dollar self-help industry, which markets goods and services to help heterosexual couples without addressing the root of their problems. Ultimately, she encourages straight men and women to take a page out of queer culture, reminding them “about the human capacity to desire, fuck, and show respect at the same time.”

Besides giving an in-depth overview of the science behind the Ex-Gay phenomenon, Davidson removes the veil that has kept ex-gays swathed in privacy. Testimonials from around the world reveal the mental, spiritual and therapeutic journey out of the gay mindset. Each confirms the science of mindful change --- how neuronal pathways of the brain can actually die with non-use and, with the right focus and protocols, be replaced with new pathways. Indeed, Ex-Gays not only confirm the science of neuroplasticity in regards to attraction but also confirm what the Bible teaches about transformation:TRANSFORMATION INVOLVES THE RENEWING OF THE MIND."Some tell me that my journey is extraordinary. In reality, I do not believe it is. After much reflection, I now see that my early life was very similar to that of a multitude of same-sex attracted men, and yes even some women. The difference is this: I was unknowingly at first given the freedom, and took it, to open a door that enabled me to scratch well below the surface of my conscious mind and to think outside the box of what have now become mainstream society's beliefs about sexual orientation."Excerpt of James Parker's Testimonial (AUSTRALIA)"Then, I realized that my fear of abandonment was the root cause of my same-sex attraction. The memory of my three-year-old self, watching my mother with my sister...and my perception of her abandoning me returned. It was as if a light switch had been flicked on. God had unzipped me of all of my anger now. It was over. I can see now, that I was battling for my soul."Excerpt of Jennifer Thorne's Testimonial (USA)"People I knew in the lifestyle died, got sick or changed in a frightening way. That's what happened for those with lots of sex partners and broken relationships...This is when I started praying ...Well, no angels singing, no Hollywood-like miracle right away. Then I saw a religious program on TV and called their "Hopeline." I chatted with someone who gave me the link to Homosexuals Anonymous. HA had an online program, and I enrolled. I thought my same-sex attractions were immutable. Now I know better." Excerpt from Robert Gollwitzer's Testimonial (GERMANY)"This book is beautiful and so needed. I see this very thing in the SSA patients I see. They are stuck developmentally. The real issues are psychological, emotional and spiritual and should be addressed." Kathy, LPC"Marie Davidson has written a powerful antidote to the propaganda of genetic homosexuality being perpetrated in our secular culture and prevaricating psychotherapy community. Much of my personal life journey from angry atheist lesbian to grateful Christian Ex-Homosexual is reflected in these pages along with the stories of many others from around the world. Davidson's book is an inspiring testament to the hope and healing available to all and to the thousands who have been freed from homosexuality through the grace of God and the power of Jesus Christ." Robin Goodspeed, Christian Ex-Homosexual,President, Voice of the Voiceless.infoAbout the Author:Marie Davidson, M.Ed. witnessed the daily struggles and depression in some of her same-sex attracted students. She helped prevent a suicide by helping one student get treatment, but there was nothing she could have done to help a student who died of AIDS complications at age 21. Davidson wrote this book to show those with unwanted same-sex attraction that they can heal from past hurts and become who they were meant to be.

Sexuality remains a neglected and largely taboo area within practice, but it can be a demanding aspect of social work. Social workers may be familiar with the importance of issues such as racism and ethnicity, but sexuality is also a very significant part of people′s lives, closest relationships and sense of identity. This valuable resource introduces the topic, using a combination of perspectives to consider sexual diversity and examining related issues across the life course, including sexual orientation, disability, HIV, sexual abuse, mental health and sexual exploitation.
