Undercurrents engages the critical rubric of queer to examine Hong Kong's screen and media culture during the transitional and immediate postcolonial period. Helen Hok-Sze Leung draws on theoretical ...insights from a range of disciplines to reveal parallels between the crisis and uncertainty of the territory's postcolonial transition and the queer aspects of its cultural productions. She explores Hong Kong cultural productions � cinema, fiction, popular music, and subcultural projects � and argues that while there is no overt consolidation of gay and lesbian identities in Hong Kong culture, undercurrents of diverse and complex expressions of gender and sexual variance are widely in evidence. Undercurrents uncovers a queer media culture that has been largely overlooked by critics in the West and demonstrates the cultural vitality of Hong Kong amidst political transition.
En base a los expedientes del Juzgado de Peligrosidad y Rehabilitación Social de València (1971-1978), en este artículo se trazan los territorios y códigos velados del cruising que facilitaban ...encuentros sexuales consensuados y protegidos por la noche, las ruinas y el anonimato. Este mapeo desvela como las redes y la cultura “marica” se extendían desde los parques a los pisos privados hasta la centralidad de los gestos en un lenguaje coreografiado de reconocimiento mutuo. A través de los encuentros furtivos en espacios apartados de la visibilidad normativa, se construyeron sociabilidades paralelas para los iniciados, que podían así reconciliar sus impulsos eróticos con sus obligaciones diarias. El cruising se insertaba en los ritmos cotidianos de la vida urbana a través de las estrategias de la opacidad. De modo similar, los arrestados recurrían a un relato estereotipado sobre sus acciones, presentándose a sí mismos como autómatas de la noche para evitar desvelar la realidad de sus deseos y motivaciones. Para problematizar el mecanicismo propio de estos relatos, el artículo concluye con una polifonía de testimonios orales que muestran como la (des)valoración del cruising por parte de los partícipes guardaba relación con como vivenciaban su propia agencia en la promiscuidad.
Most religious environments in the United States do not affirm homosexuality. The authors investigated the relationship between exposure to nonaffirming religious environments and internalized ...homophobia and mental health in a sample of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals (LGBs) in New York City. Guided by minority stress theory, the authors hypothesized that exposure to nonaffirming religious settings would lead to higher internalized homophobia, more depressive symptoms, and less psychological well-being. The authors hypothesized that Black and Latino LGBs would be more likely than White LGBs to participate in nonaffirming religious settings and would therefore have higher internalized homophobia than White LGBs. Participants were 355 LGBs recruited through community-based venue sampling and evenly divided among Black, Latino, and White race or ethnic groups and among age groups within each race or ethnic group, as well as between women and men. Results supported the general hypothesis that nonaffirming religion was associated with higher internalized homophobia. There was no main effect of nonaffirming religion on mental health, an unexpected finding discussed in this article. Latinos, but not Blacks, had higher internalized homophobia than Whites, and as predicted, this was mediated by their greater exposure to nonaffirming religion.

The Straight State is the most expansive study of the federal regulation of homosexuality yet written. Unearthing startling new evidence from the National Archives, Margot Canaday shows how the state ...systematically came to penalize homosexuality, giving rise to a regime of second-class citizenship that sexual minorities still live under today.
Recent years have seen a dramatic upsurge of interest in the connections between sexualities, space and place. Drawing established and 'founding' figures of the field together with emerging authors, ...this innovative volume offers a broad, interdisciplinary and international overview of the geographies of sexualities. Incorporating a discussion of queer geographies, Geographies of Sexualities engages with cutting edge agendas and challenges the orthodoxies within geography regarding spatialities and sexualities. It contains original and previously unpublished material that spans the often separated areas of theory, practices and politics. This innovative volume offers a trans-disciplinary engagement with the spatialities of sexualities, intersecting discussions of sexualities with issues such as development, race, gender and other forms of social difference.

El desarrollo de la homosexualidad a lo largo de la historia ha tenido diferentes perspectivas que se han traído a la actualidad, dando lugar a diferentes críticas y discriminaciones a las personas ...que se identifican con esta orientación sexual. El objetivo del presente estudio es encontrar la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la orientación sexual de los universitarios entre los 18 y 25 años de Bogotá. Participaron 60 personas de ambas orientaciones sexuales entre los 18 y 25 años. Se les aplicó el TMMS-24, posteriormente, se realizó una prueba t para muestras independientes.
