Description: There are at least five million bisexual people in America, generally invisible to straight society, the gay community, and even to each other. While the vast majority of these five million live within the straight or gay world, there are a few who have formed a community of their own. Bi America: Myths, Truths, and Struggles of an Invisible Community offers an inside look at the American bisexual community and gives an understanding of the special circumstances unique to being bisexual. The book takes the reader to bi community events from picnics, to conferences, to support groups, to performances in order to expose the everyday trials of the bisexual community.

Description: In these opening years of the 21st century in the United States, perhaps no topic is more divisive than homosexuality, particularly when it is coupled with the deeply rooted concept of civil rights. The same-sex marriage debate, for example, is but part of a larger discussion over issues crucial to American life, such as the role of law in the lives of individuals, relationships among law, economics, and morality, and the values thought to distinguish and define us. GLBT history is not just the struggle for rights, it is people simply living their lives "the best they knew how" regardless of the terms they or others use for them. This work focuses on U. S. history and, within that, the 20th century, particularly because the vast majority of work in GLBT history has been during this place and time. Major issues and events such as the Stonewall riot, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the military, same-sex marriage, gay rights, gay pride, organizations and alliances, AIDS, and legal battles and court cases are discussed. Included in this reference work are sidebars highlighting major debates, legal landmarks and key individuals. A timeline and further reading sections concluding each chapter as well as a full bibliography and black and white images enhance the text.

Description: Textbook of Homosexuality and Mental Health brings together in one volume the entire range of material and variety of perspectives concerning homosexuality and mental health. With more than 50 chapters written by leaders in the field, this book is the most complete review of the topics of homosexuality and mental health and treatment of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals to date. Starting from the belief that homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality and not a mental illness, this revolutionary book presents current information on homosexuality from a mental health and medical perspective. Sections focus on demographic, cultural, genetic, biological, and psychological perspectives; development throughout the life cycle; relationships and families; psychotherapy; multicultural identities and communities; professional education; and medical care. A variety of special issues, such as sexuality, substance abuse, violence, suicide, religion, and HIV/AIDS, are discussed. Also included are several unique chapters that cover topics not readily available elsewhere, among them transsexuality; minority gay, lesbian, and bisexual people; the impact of the sexual orientation of the therapist; latency development in prehomosexual boys; and clinical issues specific to psychotherapy with gay, lesbian, and bisexual patients. The clinical and theoretical richness contained in this volume makes it an accessible and invaluable reference for clinicians and the general public alike. Chapters complement each other, while providing enough information to be useful if read on their own.

Description: Presenting a state-of-the-art review of what is known - and what remains to be known, about bisexuality - this volume offers insight into this understudied sexual orientation. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, Bisexuality provides a focused, comprehensive introduction to research, theory and practical clinical knowledge about bisexuality.

The interdisciplinary range of contributors agree that, given recognition and validity, bisexuality has the explanatory power to illuminate many of those elements of sexual orientation and sexual identity which have, to date, remained unexplored. They explicate the emergence of bisexuality as a phenomenon requiring a paradigm shift in sexual orientation studies, and discuss the implications of this shift.

Description: A Multidisciplinary Examination of a Long-Neglected, Controversial Topic; The first ever anthology to explore the theoretical, political, psychological and cultural issues surrounding male bisexuality, all in easy-to-read language. Men who love both men and women fall victim to numerous types of stereotyping in both scholarly studies and popular culture. Often vilified or misunderstood by everyday society, lumped together with gay men in cultural studies, rejected by the straight community for being too gay or rejected by the gay community for being too straight, bisexuality is a long-overdue topic of discussion. A lack of research on how bisexuality is experienced, interpreted and encoded in literature, film and other aspects of popular culture means that stereotypes, stigma and confusion are still prevalent. This timely study brings together theoretical, scientific and literary expertise to dispel the fictions surrounding male bisexuality and reveal the whole bisexual man. Includes; Public health research concerning HIV transmission. The marital consequences of a husband's bisexuality. The empirical differences between bi-negativity and homophobia. The lack of public visibility of bisexual men as compared to bisexual women.
