The Incubation of the Task Force: Narrative Re-positioning for Being an Aids Prevention Framing Institution Unspoiling Black Gay Identity
In 1987, the National Association of Black and White Men Together (NABWMT) received funding to create the National Task Force on AIDS Prevention , the first federally funded organization to do HIV/AIDS prevention directed to Black gay and bisexual men. This article is based on a narrative ethnography of NABWMT, including analysis of ten years of newsletters, 36 oral history interviews, and organizational documents from five different archives, an…
Quelling Emotion: Emotion Work to Resist the Anti-TQLGB+ Emotion Culture of Fear in Florida
This article presents ethnographic research about resistance to the anti-TQLGB+ politics in Florida conducted for a year (2023–2024) at 23 public events. My analysis identifies one core way people and groups resisted this current iteration of anti-TQLGB+ politics was via a process of quelling emotion. I detail how quelling emotion was emotion work, resisting the broader culture of fear, enacted by naming fear, facing fear, and being calm and rati…
Stories of Antiracist Gay/Lesbian Gender Alliance: Articulating Intersectional Solidarity in the 1980s
This article shows how in the early 1980s, Black and White Men Together (BWMT), an interracial group of antiracist gay men, constructed relations of connection with antiracist feminist lesbians of color. My analysis details how BWMT engaged in storytelling through newsletters, reporting their creation of relations of connection with Black, 'Third World,' antiracist lesbians and constructing these relations as a multidimensional gender alliance in…
Gay and Race Cognizant: Interstitial Storytelling and the Narrative Positioning of an Interracial Gay Organization in the 1980s 1
In this article, I show how an interracial gay group forming in the 1980s, Black and White Men Together (BWMT), did storytelling of themselves as gay and anti‐racist. Part of a larger narrative ethnography, this article focuses on how BWMT, in a 1980s context compelling the question of interracial organizing, did storytelling to narratively construct themselves as such. This article notes how the group faced an immediate narrative environment lik…
Mapping the Travels of Intersectionality Scholarship: A Citation Network Analysis
In this study, we conducted a citation network analysis of intersectionality scholarship. We aimed to elucidate content domains in this scholarship's citation network. In addition, we explored a citation-based genealogy of this scholarship, attending to the representation of women of color identified in prior critical analyses of intersectionality scholarship as key but under-acknowledged contributors to intersectional thought and praxis. We used…
Re-Storying Beloved Community: Intersectional Social Movement Storytelling of Antiracist Gay Liberation
This article details intersectional social movement storytelling produced by a racially mixed group of gay men in the 1980s to articulate, and insist upon, antiracist gay liberation. Based on a larger project of narrative ethnography of the organization Black and White Men Together (BWMT), I describe how BWMT drew upon the movement story of an ideal community from the civil rights movement (Beloved Community) and re-storied it to confront a narro…

Professional Allies: The Storying of Allies to LGBTQ Students on a College Campus
This article details the narratives of faculty and staff involved in a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) ally organization at a large southeastern state university. We illustrate how interview participants diverged from organizational literature on how to be an ally by offering a different narrative, one of professional responsibility to a diverse student body. We expound upon how this notion of professional responsibility di…
Coming out for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays: From support group grieving to love advocacy
This article traces how a 1990s’ US social movement organization, PFLAG (Parents, Friends and Family of Lesbians and Gays) constitutes itself and its work by extending the story of coming out via particular emotional promises featured in its motivational framing. I trace how PFLAG’s motivational framing carefully balances a call to participate in terms of grief with a call to action in terms of love, thereby offering potential participants the ‘e…
Activist Parenting and GLBTQ Families
This article utilizes examples from four different feminist, constructionist, sociological research projects to illustrate the centrality of activist parenting to current understandings of GLBTQ-related parenting and GLBTQ family studies. Specifically, we suggest that GLBTQ-related parenting can be better understood if we pay attention to how it is political, relational, and specific. We begin the article by reviewing key work about activist moth…
Coming Out of the Family Closet: Stories of Adult Women with LGBTQ Parent(s)
Be Your(Real Lesbian)Self: Mobilizing Sexual Formula Stories through Personal (and Political) Storytelling
This article investigates the ways individuals tell their life stories as a means of social movement activism. The authors rely on the participant observation fieldwork of one author, wherein she participated on " panels" of a local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) organization as they spoke to classes and organizations ostensibly to inform audiences about panelists' experiences as LGBT people. Using analytic bracketing, they look at th…
"Doing "Real Family Values: The Interpretive Practice of Families in the GLBT Movement
This article considers how a social movement group in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) movement engages in discursive contention with the Religious Right over the meaning of traditional family values. By utilizing an understanding of framing as interpretive practice, we return to a more active conceptualization of framing and illustrate how the meaning making of PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), though…
Social Movement Selves
This article discusses Holstein and Gubrium's (2000) analytic for understanding the production of postmodern selves and suggests that it is a means by which to further understandings about the construction of social movement selves. According to Holstein and Gubrium's perspective, the construction of postmodern subjectivity is an interplay between circumstantial resources and self-constituting work. As an example, I discuss research about a socia…
The Gendered Unapologetic: Queer Resistance in Women’s Sport
Based on an ethnographic study of women’s rugby in the U.S. in the early 1990s, this article suggests that women’s participation in sport represents a type of resistance that can be understood as “queer” resistance, albeit a gendered one. The article argues that queer theories and politics of resistance offer a lens by which to explain how women who played rugby in the early 1990s subscribed not to a “female apologetic,” but rather an unapologeti…
Hate Crimes: New Social Movements and the Politics of Violence
In addressing a timely set of questions about the politics and dynamics of inter-group violence manifest as discrimination, this volume explores such issues as why injuries against some groups of people (Jews, people of color, gays and lesbians, and, sometimes, women, and those with disabilities) capture notice, while similar acts of bias-motivated violence against others continue to go unnoticed. Throughout, the authors develop a compelling argu…

Antiviolence Activism and the (In)visibility of Gender in the Gay/Lesbian and Women's Movements
Gay and lesbian-sponsored antiviolence projects have used activist strategies and 'collective action frames' similar to the contemporary women's movement's antiviolence against women campaigns and have defined violence against gays and lesbians as a social problem resulting from criminal sexual assault that stems from institutionalized sexual terrorism. Unlike the contemporary feminist movement, which has been anchored in an all-encompassing crit…
