Free Download Eileen Myles, "Stripped Down: Lesbian Sex Stories"
English | 2012 | pages: 302 | ISBN: 1573447943 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
Where else but a Tristan Taormino erotica collection can you find a femme vigilante, a virgin baby butch, and a snake charmer jostling for your attention? The salacious stories in Stripped Down draw you in like honeyed voices from an upstairs room. In Peggy Munson’s "Into the Baptismal," two farmgirls decide to test their virginity pledges one rainy summer night. Quinn Vertiz’s "Jubilee" describes a classic American rite of passage – a trip to a trailer brothel in the Nevada desert – but with a truck full of butch dykes in place of the local boys. In Skian McGuire’s "Phoebe’s Undercover Bon Voyage," a group of well-equipped tops indulge a friend’s cop fetish before she – a real cop – goes undercover. And Kathleen Warnock’s "After Lunch" makes it clear that the best dish in a small-town restaurant isn’t on the menu. Guest editor Eileen Myles adds her street smarts and lyrical dynamism to Tristan Taormino’s powerful collection of riveting girl-girl erotica.

Free Download Here Come the Brides!: Reflections on Lesbian Love and Marriage By Audrey Bilger, Michele Kort
2012 | 448 Pages | ISBN: 1580053920 | EPUB | 7 MB
Marriage today isn’t what it used to be: for better, not for worse. As same-sex weddings are becoming more common, the classic love-story happy ending is taking on a decidedly new twist, everyone has a fresh role to play, and supporters and opponents of gay marriage alike are finding themselves in the midst of a revolution that’s redefining marriage—both as a personal choice and as an institution—as we know it.In Here Come the Brides!, editors Audrey Bilger and Michele Kort gather together the voices of women taking part in—and shaping—this major historical shift. Representing a diversity of points of view in terms of race, class, ethnicity, and gender identification, this collection of essays, stories, and visual images takes a multidimensional look at how opening up the traditional order of “man and wife" to include the possibility of “wife and wife" is altering our social landscape. From wedding pictures and images of protest signs to comical anecdotes and sober philosophical analyses, Here Come the Brides! is an exploration of how the legalization of same-sex marriages has irrevocably changed the way lesbians think about their unions and their lives—and a celebration of the dream of lesbian happily-ever-afters.

We Are Everywhere includes writings from the beginnings of the gay and lesbian movement in the 19th century by Karl Ulrichs, Magnus Hirschfeld, and John Addington Symonds; legal and government studies concerning rights of gay and lesbian citizens; articles from the early US liberation movement publications such as Mattachine Review, The Ladder and ONE ; documents from the first days of the AIDS epidemic to current activism; statements and writings from the movements within "the movement" (bisexuals, S/M, conservatives); and finally, a look at the future of lesbian and gay politics. Together the documents allow readers to examine a diverse set of issues: the concept of gay love before "homosexuality," the development of political movements based on homosexual identity, the history of government persecution of homosexuality, the impact of feminism on the modern lesbian and gay rights movement, and the emergence of queer theory.

Free Download Suffering Sappho!: Lesbian Camp in American Popular Culture by Ms. Barbara Jane Brickman Ph.D
English | November 10, 2023 | ISBN: 1978828268 | 246 pages | PDF | 18 Mb
An ever-expanding and panicked Wonder Woman lurches through a city skyline begging Steve to stop her. A twisted queen of sorority row crashes her convertible trying to escape her queer shame. A suave butch emcee introduces the sequined and feathered stars of the era’s most celebrated drag revue. For an unsettled and retrenching postwar America, these startling figures betrayed the failure of promised consensus and appeasing conformity. They could also be cruel, painful, and disciplinary jokes. It turns out that an obsession with managing gender and female sexuality after the war would hardly contain them. On the contrary, it spread their campy manifestations throughout mainstream culture.
