In 1931, gay liberation was not a movement—it was simply unthinkable. But in that year, Quentin Crisp made the courageous decision to "come out" as a homosexual. This exhibitionist with the henna-dyed hair was harassed, ridiculed and beaten. Nevertheless, he claimed his right to be himself—whatever the consequences. The Naked Civil Servant is both a comic masterpiece and a unique testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

The author presents an alternative approach to the runes, one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path.

This audiobook is an unabridged narration of the final report issued by the review, including its appendices.

As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity.

Few issues are as controversial in the church today as the questions and debate surrounding the LGBTQ community. Pastor Fran Leeman and his church avoided all the controversy for decades and then were suddenly thrust into it. Fran boldly chose to invite his leaders and congregation into an intentional process of learning and conversation with no idea where the journey would lead.

Esistono infiniti modi di provare e provocare piacere, e infiniti esperimenti che si possono fare, da solə o con altre persone, per scoprirli. Il sesso può essere un’esperienza meravigliosa, ma capita che difficoltà fisiche ed emotive finiscano per rovinare questo momento, o che tabù e pregiudizi impediscano di vivere i rapporti in modo appagante e completo. Scoprire la sessualità vuol dire guardare oltre la mera e spasmodica ricerca dell’orgasmo per godersi il viaggio nella sua interezza, e rispettare desideri, fantasie, gusti e limitazioni, perché il sesso non è sempre perfetto, anzi!

Publicado originalmente em 1983, Tornar-se negro foi pioneiro ao conectar a psicanálise com a questão racial. De forma inovadora e potente, a psiquiatra e psicanalista Neusa Santos Souza dedicou um estudo acadêmico à vida emocional de negros e negras, justificado pela absoluta ausência de um discurso nesse nível elaborado pelo negro acerca de si mesmo. Partindo da própria experiência de ser negra numa sociedade de hegemonia branca, Neusa analisa uma série de depoimentos dados a ela, assinalando neles as consequências brutais do racismo.

In Ta-Nehisi Coates's keenly anticipated new book, The Message, he explores the urgent question of how our stories – our reporting, imaginative narratives and mythmaking – both expose and distort our realities. Travelling to three resonant sites of conflict, he illuminates how the stories we tell – as well as the ones we don’t – work to shape us.

Nobody knows what to do about queer Mormons. The institutional Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prefers to pretend they don’t exist, that they can choose their way out of who they are, leave, or at least stay quiet in a community that has no place for them. Even queer Mormons don’t know what to do about queer Mormons. Their lived experience is shrouded by a doctrine in which heteronormative marriage is non-negotiable and gender is unchangeable.

There is more to identity than identifying with one's culture or standing solidly against it. José Esteban Muñoz looks at how those outside the racial and sexual mainstream negotiate majority culture—not by aligning themselves with or against exclusionary works but rather by transforming these works for their own cultural purposes. Muñoz calls this process "disidentification," and through a study of its workings, he develops a new perspective on minority performance, survival, and activism.
