"Women Gossipping"

Hi there!

*crickets*


Okay, so this comm might not be posting, but people are watching it, right? Right?

Anyways, I was doing my queer history research blog on Blogspot and decided to crosspost everything on Livejournal to make it easier on anyone who wanted to watch it. Probably I could have just made an RSS feed, but whatever.

Contemplations on an Unknown History.

Question

I'm new to this community, and I have a question. I was wondering if anyone has a good list or can recommend any good documentaries about GLBT history, particularly right before, during and the aftermath of Stonewall. Right now I'm currently watching 'Before Stonewall' and also checked out from the local rental store here 'After Stonewall' but I'm always looking for more to watch!

The other area of interest is homosexuality during the Holocaust and WWII. I know very little has been written about the subject, but being Jewish and part of the GLBT community I find it interesting as well as important to learn more about it.

Thanks to anyone in advance.

The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition is pleased to announce the release of its 2008 GENIUS Survey in partnership with Ernst & Young.  GenderPAC works to ensure that classrooms, communities and workplaces are safe for everyone to learn, grow and succeed.

 

The Gender Equality National Index for Universities & Schools (GENIUS), GenderPAC’s most recent effort to end discrimination and promote awareness, encourages colleges and universities to recognize the benefits of a GenderSAFEtm campus - supportive equitable and protective for all students. Choosing to participate in GENUIS sends a strong public statement that bullying or discriminating based on the race, sex or gender of a student, faculty, or staff member is not tolerated at your institution

 

Fill out the survey at:  www.gpac.org/GENIUS2008survey, and make sure that we have data for as many schools as possible. Your voice will help us continue to work towards a safe and welcoming environment for every student.

 

While we greatly appreciate the interest taken in GENIUS by students, staff and faculty at academic institutions outside of the United States, at this time GENIUS is only able to track schools based in the United States.

In England..

every February is lgbtq* history month, and for the whole of its existence I have curated an outstilation in the five London main public institutions, the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert, Tate, and the British Library to see how they are managing.

And the results aren't good.

I'm beginning to prepare for next year, but we have a different starting point, for the Barbican is curating an exhibition called Seduced with a catalogue for less than thirty pounds which shows how contested all the categories are.

John Addington Symonds is the starting point for the Barbican case.

"Kicked Out" call for submissions

Edited by: Sassafras Lowrey*
Publisher: Homofactus Press
Deadline: March 1, 2008

Kicked Out is an anthology, which chronicles the experiences of former queer youth and current queer youth who were forced to leave home as minors because of their sexuality and/or gender identity. Kicked Out tells our collective stories of survival, weaving together descriptions of abuse, and homelessness with poignant accounts of the ways in which the queer community offered sanctuary, and the power and importance of creating our own chosen families etc. Kicked Out offers advice and wisdom to the queer youth of today from former queer youth who have survived. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for readers to get a glimpse into the world of those queer youth who as a result of circumstance have had to leave home, while simultaneously shattering the stereotypes of who queer youth are, and what they have the potential to become.
