Recent discussion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) youth has included two emphases: the burgeoning trend toward youth-supportive organizations and focus on risk factors experienced by ...these youth. In practice, the two are intertwined: the need for youth-supportive endeavors is typically demonstrated by appeals to the risks LGBT youth face. Relatively little attention has been given to relationships between youth and adults in LGBT communities. This article employs data from a long-term qualitative study with LGBT youth, supported by information from numerous other settings to suggest that a failure on the part of both groups fully to comprehend the experience of the other hampers the optimal functioning of everyone involved. In particular, we suggest that the discourse about the dangers faced by LGBT youth, despite its being thoroughly well-intentioned, may actually place these teens at greater risk.
This chapter investigates how the gay community marginalized black people and then how the black community marginalized gay people of color. It considers the Million Man (1995) and Million Woman ...(1997) marches and the 1993 and 2000 LGBTQ marches and examines how people whose lives straddle both these intersections have sought community and comfort. Many black LGBTs wanted to be part of the LGBT community and the black community. They were vocal about their needs and desires and what they brought to both communities. While some found the community they were looking for, others did not. The reality, sadly enough, was that even though black LGBTs were “out” and vocal at the African American and LGBT marches, they remained on the outs in both communities.

In this chapter, the author criticizes Israeli filmmakers Gal Uchovsky and Eitan Fox for their views on the lesbian community. After the murder in the LGBT youth club in Tel Aviv on August 1, 2009, ...Uchovsky and Fox organized a memorial assembly where they prevented Knesset member Hissam Makhoul of Hadash from speaking during the event but embraced right-wing political leaders. At the same time, they were outing artists who refused to take part in the assembly. The author takes Uchovsky and Fox to task for their aggressive outing of artists and their scandalous criticism of the lesbian community who refused to kowtow to facile cultural icons. According to the author, the two filmmakers prevented the opportunity to forge bonds of solidarity between the LGBT community and the Palestinians of Israel and the Occupied Territories. He calls on Uchovsky and Fox to come out of their own political closets, take a stand alongside the oppressed, and refrain from making the gay community part of a violent, racist mainstream.
In the United States, public health developed to a large degree as a voluntary movement—or, more accurately, a set of different voluntary movements—each campaigning for some particular health reform. ...As these movements became professionalized, as the first health departments were created, and as the first schools of public health were developed, scientific education was seen as the necessary basis of rational social and health reform. Over time, and especially after World War II, pressures on schools of public health led to an ever greater emphasis on research than on practice, a tendency fueled by the funding mechanisms of the National Institutes of Health. By the 1980s it had become clear that the schools of public health and their research productivity had become ever more clearly divorced from the activities of public health departments. The movement to community-based participatory research (CBPR) was, then, an attempt to reconnect the research enterprise with the actual needs of public health as defined by the people whose health was to be affected.

Given hostility within segments of LGBT communities toward same-sex marriage, how do Australian activists justify their efforts toward achieving marriage equality? In this article, we expand the ...social movement literature by examining how activists construct identity, meaning, and goals in contradistinction to others within the same movement. We draw on interviews with Australian lesbian and gay activists to examine what enables them to pursue the contested goal of same-sex marriage in light of internal movement critiques that marriage equality will undermine the significance of lesbian and gay identity and impair activism on other issues as a result of the view that equality has been achieved. We expand debates over the post-gay trajectory of lesbian and gay activism and identity by illustrating how activists attach different, what we term, mobilizing meanings, to the same movement goal which enables them to withstand internal movement critiques. We provide a typology of mobilizing meanings that can be applied more generally.
Cambodia has experienced rapid economic development and increased globalization in the last two decades, which have influenced changes in sexual attitudes and politics. Yet deeply embedded ...patriarchal structures that promote adherence to traditional values, gender binaries, and sexual purity of women impede progress in the recognition of the rights of sex/entertainment workers and LGBT communities. Using the framework of sexual humanitarianism, this paper outlines the ways in which these constraints are compounded by two dominant conflicting narratives that place these groups as either at-risk and vulnerable or socially deviant, and deemed in need of interventions that protect and control. Drawing on over a decade of empirical research on the sex/entertainment industries, and broader gender/sexual landscape in Cambodia, as well as current social activism of the authors, this paper also describes the ways LGBT and sex worker communities are engaging in shared organizing and self-advocacy as strategies to address their needs and the consequences left in the wake of sexual humanitarian interventions. In order to contextualize their deeply-rooted legacy in Cambodia, the paper also provides an overview of past and contemporary gender/sexual norms and diversity, and concludes with a call for governments and policymakers to expand support for grassroots movements and to listen more closely to the voices of LGBT and sex worker communities so that the political and social needs of these groups can be addressed.
