LGBTQ Stats
LGBTQ Stats: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer People by the Numbers | Bennett Singer, David Deschamps
7 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Twenty years ago it was impossible to imagine the president of the United States embracing same-sex marriage or Bruce Jenner transitioning to Caitlyn Jenner, an open transgender woman. LGBTQ Stats chronicles the ongoing LGBTQ revolution, providing the critical statistics, and draws upon and synthesizes newly collected data. Deschamps and Singerwhose previous books and films on LGBTQ topics have won numerous awards and found audiences around the globeprovide chapters on family and marriage, workplace discrimination, education, youth, criminal justice, and immigration, as well as evolving policies and laws affecting LGBTQ communities. A chapter on LGBTQ life around the globe contrasts the dramatic progress for LGBTQ people in the United States with violent backlash in countries such as Russia, Iran, and Nigeria, which have discriminatory laws that make same-sex activity punishable by prison or death. A lively, accessible, and eye-opening snapshot, LGBTQ Stats offers an invaluable resource for activists, journalists, lawmakers, and general readers who want the facts and figures on LGBTQ lives in the twenty-first century.

I've been working this week on getting my #bulletjournal ready for all the 2023 reading challenges and in the process updating 2022 challenges. I kinda forgot about this one but managed to fulfill most of the prompts. Looking forward to #LGBTQBookBingo2023 and being more mindful of the prompts from the get go ☺️🌈

Reading about queer things alone in my room because my parents have made it clear that they don't like me talking about queer shit 🙃 maybe because it reminds them that I'm queer?? Who knows?? Unsupportive friends and family don't make sense to me!!!!!!!!!! #imbitter #canyoutell

"Japan holds the distinction of having one of the shortest-lived sodomy laws in the world: the statute was in place from 1873 to 1883. The law was repealed in part because of strong resistance from samurai warriors, who had a long tradition of same-sex relations."

Where are the thousands of gay samurai romance and fantasy and mystery and historical fiction novels???? Does anybody here know of any gay samurai novels?? I neeeeeeeeeed

JSW Why is this not taught in history?!?! 6y

I know no less than three trans/genderqueer ppl who have had to teach their healthcare providers what "transgender" and "gender nonconforming" mean. To real, actual doctors and registered nurses.

Medical ?? professionals ?? should ?? know ?? how ?? to care ?? for queer ?? people ??

melbeautyandbooks We must do better! 6y
minkyb Not acceptable. 6y

😞 this makes me sad but I'm super glad there is an entire chapter about bisexuality in this book. Bi and pan ppl are usually just ignored. #bi #or #die #queerbooks #anyotheroutbisexualsonlitsy? #hi
