Come Now, Let Us Argue It Out provides a look into a
community that challenges common narratives about what it means to
be LGBTQ and Christian in the contemporary United States. Based on
his ...participant-observation fieldwork with a faith-based
organization called the Reformation Project, Jon Burrow-Branine
provides an ethnography of how some LGBTQ and LGBTQ-supportive
Christians negotiate identity and difference and work to create
change in evangelicalism. Come Now, Let Us Argue It Out
tells the story of how this activism can be understood as a
community of counter-conduct. Drawing on a concept proposed by the
philosopher and historian Michel Foucault, Burrow-Branine documents
everyday moments of agency and resistance that have the potential
to form new politics, ethics, and ways of being as individuals in
this community navigate the exclusionary politics of mainstream
evangelical institutions, culture, and theology. More broadly,
Burrow-Branine considers the community's ongoing conversation about
what it means to be LGBTQ and a Christian, grappling with the
politics of inclusion and representation in LGBTQ evangelical
activism itself.

Mad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for LGBTQ Teachers’ Rights addresses an important legal case that set the stage for today’s LGBTQ civil rights–a case that almost no one has heard of. ...Marjorie Rowland v. Mad River School District involves an Ohio guidance counselor fired in 1974 for being bisexual. Rowland’s case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices declined to consider it. In a spectacular published dissent, Justice Brennan laid out arguments for why the First and Fourteenth Amendments apply to bisexuals, gays, and lesbians. That dissent has been the foundation for LGBTQ civil rights advances since.
In the first in-depth treatment of this foundational legal case, authors Margaret A. Nash and Karen L. Graves tell the story of that case and of Marjorie Rowland, the pioneer who fought for employment rights for LGBTQ educators and who paid a heavy price for that fight. It brings the story of LGBTQ educators’ rights to the present, including commentary on Bostock v Clayton County , the 2020 Supreme Court case that struck down employment discrimination against LGBT workers.
The underlying argument of this groundbreaking study is this: Sexual orientation and gender identity influence how sexual assault is experienced, how it is perceived, and ultimately, how victims (and ...perpetrators) are treated by the criminal justice system. Focusing much of their work on the queer community--a community with a disproportionately high risk of sexual assault--the authors introduce the Identity Inclusive Sexual Assault Myth Scale (IISAMS) to explore the unique aspects of sexual assault and the process of disclosure as experienced by queer victims. They also incorporate participant recommendations, collected during interviews, as they foreground ways for more effectively preventing and responding to sexual violence throughout contemporary society.

One in six gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations are under-represented in cancer research, and ...guidelines on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening are limited. We performed a cross-sectional study to assess patterns of PSA screening and decision-making in this cohort. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System database was queried for LGBT adults for 2014–2016 and 2018, when PSA questions were asked in the annual survey. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association of LGBT status with PSA screening and informed and shared decision-making. A total of 164 370 participants were eligible for PSA screening, representing a weighted estimate of 1.2 million LGBT individuals. Compared to cisgender (CG) straight individuals, CG gay/bisexual cohorts were more likely to participate in PSA screening (CG gay: odds ratio OR 1.07; p < 0.001; CG bisexual: OR 1.06; p < 0.001). CG gay participants were more likely to make informed decisions (OR 1.10; p < 0.001) and engage in shared decision-making (OR 2.55; p < 0.001). Select gay populations were more likely to undergo PSA screening recommended by their clinicians and participate in informed and shared decision-making.
This large study of sexual and gender minorities in the USA suggests that gay and bisexual individuals were more likely to undergo prostate cancer screening and that select gay individuals were more likely to make informed and shared decisions. However, transgender individuals were less likely to have prostate cancer screening and make informed decisions.
Select gay populations are more likely to undergo prostate cancer screening and make informed and shared decisions. However, transgender populations are less likely to have prostate cancer screening and make informed decisions.
