I know what many of you may be thinking: who cares what’s in the Bible? Why should we even discuss it? Well, this lesson is for those who do care about what’s in the Bible, and for those with family members or neighbors who use it as a weapon against their identity or sense of belonging. I hope this lesson proves that such a weapon is deeply flawed––its anti-queerness is an imaginary, modern invention––and I hope that this knowledge empowers queer folks with the ability to combat religious-based bigotry when they witness it firsthand.

Inspired by comparisons between the AIDS crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, noted gay historian Dr. Eric Cervini has launched an online LGBTQ+ book and film club for the quarantine, “Quarantini.” “I figure this is the perfect opportunity to be looking backward, where we can take a moment, re-evaluate who we are as a community, and …

"I hope some of the things that I assign each and every day give us some hope, and remind us that we need to stay vigilant.” 📚🌈

The Deviants War: The Homosexual vs The United States of America 5/5 ⭐

By Eric Cervini

A very important book detailing the history of the American gay rights movement. This book focuses primarily on Frank Kameny, one of the biggest figures in the gay civil rights movement. One of my favorite things to watch was how gay people and the gay culture want from feeling ashamed, but still needing to work and saying they should be treated well despite their deviance to realizing that being gay was good and moral and fuck everyone who says otherwise. It also touches on early conflicts such as respectability politics as well as ties between the Civil rights movement and conflicts between the women's rights movement. Clocking in at a thicc 500+ pages, this isn't a book that you can sit down with for some light reading, but I can't overstate it's importance in terms of gay cultural history.
