Becoming Mothers? No Thanks! The Phenomenon of Childfree Women in a Web Community
The article intends to examine the cultural phenomenon called “childfree”, that is, those women who choose not to have a child, and examines the forms of symbolic and relational psychological resistance that they give rise to in opposition to a culture that, instead, still forcefully affirms the equation “woman = mother”. To this end, the study focuses on two web communities on the social media Facebook that bring together online all the women wh…
Non-Binary Family Configurations
Citizens of an Unqueered Nation
White man's disease
Through critical reflection on the conspiracy theories told about the origins of HIV by American Indians, we learned that many community members refused the universalized aspects of AIDS prevention, education, and intervention. We found that standard HIV/AIDS-related prevention and treatment programs tend to universalize experiences with and responses to the AIDS epidemic and ignore - or push to the margin - alternative framings and understanding…
Joyous Discipline
The problem driving this essay is how we, as scholars, can account for the complexities of the seemingly unified elements that make up tribally specific identity held among many gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirit (GLBTQ2) American Indians while asking them to disrupt oppressive sex and gender stabilities within the communities to which they are committed. These unified elements are the social practices, identity categories …
Cycling Nostalgia
Over the last 15 years Italian cyclotourists have been building a subculture around nostalgia for vintage cycling (bici d'epoca). Vintage-inspired races and gatherings such as L'Eroica (the hero) in Tuscany serve as the ideological and organizational foundation of a kind of cyclotouring seeking to reclaim the values of an older and ‘purer’ form of the sport. Riders and enthusiasts dress in pre-1980s cycling clothing and are by regulation not allo…

Queer Indigenous Entropy
Two-Spirit men's sexual conquest stories-or what I am calling sexual coup stories-narrated more than just the sexual encounter. In fact, actual sexual acts are often secondary to the circumstances producing the sexual encounter. In this study, coup stories serve as a form of data revealing the ways in which sexual conquest is a sociosexual practice thoroughly embedded in broader Native community values and cultural patterns for the movement of bo…
Gay American Indian Men's Mobility and Sexual Sedentarism in the United States Census Rules of Residence
The mobility of gay American Indian men in and of itself challenges broader social agendas attaching sexuality to a particular political category, such as same-sex marriage. Having same-sex marriage and partnering recognized on the United States census fulfills the activist goals of a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer political majority at the same time that it produces a normalization of sedentary sexuality. Sexual mobility, often a…
Native Sexual Inequalities
Two-Spirit men cite the common goal of eventually gaining social acceptance and restoring a place of honor within their individual tribal societies as their unifying factor. They set out to achieve this goal by actively engaging with American Indian cultural conservative values through ceremonial and social practices. By altering normalized gender practices they challenge their alienation while also solidifying their commitment to tribal communit…
Discipline and the Other Body
Imagining Transgender
Snag bags’
HIV/AIDS researchers working among Native Americans have consistently noted resistance to discussions of sexuality and the distribution of condoms. This resistance is inspired by long held values about shame and public discussions of sexuality. Also, American Indians have been reluctant to welcome public discussions of HIV/AIDS and sexuality from external entities, such as governmental agencies. As a result, Native peoples have some of the lowest…
Cultural Investment
Many gay American Indian (GAI) men feel alienated from their tribal, ceremonial and social communities because of homophobia and heterosexism. As a result, they often turn to their local gay community for social participation and sex opportunities. It is no secret that a significant aspect of some gay communities is socializing in local bars and clubs. The gay bar scene makes healthy living difficult for Native American gay men. This is especiall…
Making Traditional Spaces
Since the early 1990s, two-spirit people from a variety of tribal backgrounds have been coming together for social and spiritual meetings. Two-spirit, a term adopted by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) Natives, represents an emerging new interpretation of “traditional” Indian identity. Like most mainstream Indian events and ceremonies, two-spirit gatherings emphasize Native traditions, cultural participation, and personal survival. …
