Milk, Harvey (1930–1978)
Harvey Milk was the first out gay candidate to be elected to major political office in the state of California. Though his political career was tragically cut short when he was assassinated, Milk accomplished much during the final 11 months of his life, while serving as the first openly gay supervisor for San Francisco's District 5. He was a fierce advocate of disclosing one's sexual identity, or “coming out of the closet,” and sponsored a civil …
Gay and Lesbian Politics
Gay and lesbian politics in the United States have had a deep and long‐lasting impact on the twentieth and twenty‐first centuries. Alongside their allies, gay and lesbian political actors have championed issues such as the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , better treatments for people with HIV/AIDS, and the legal recognition of same‐sex marriage. Key develo…
Sexism
Sexism consists of biases and discriminatory practices that position one sex or gender as inferior to another. While the targets of sexism are typically women, sexism may also affect people of various genders (men, transgender individuals). Like racism, sexism is both interpersonal and institutional in nature. Despite feminists' historical and recent advances, sexism continues to permeate various aspects of contemporary culture, including languag…
Compulsory Heterosexuality
The term “compulsory heterosexuality” originated with the publication of Adrienne Rich's influential lesbian feminist essay, “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence,” in 1980. Rich asserted that heterosexuality is deeply ingrained in our political institutions and everyday lives. Although heterosexuality is frequently represented as innate or freely chosen, heterosexuality is instead the result of “compulsory” social arrangements that n…

Dyadic Imaginary
The dyadic imaginary is a theoretical framework that builds upon Chrys Ingraham's widely referenced heterosexual imaginary. Whereas Ingraham challenges feminist sociology to critically examine the institutionalized nature of heterosexuality, sociologists Danielle Antoinette Hidalgo, Kristen Barber, and Erica Hunter likewise call for a re‐evaluation of dyadism as the default, taken‐for‐granted norm for social scientific inquiry into intimate relat…
Milk, Harvey (1930–1978)
Harvey Milk's brief but influential life (1930– 1978) continues to inspire sociologists and others working in numerous areas, including those who engage with social movements, social change, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) studies. Although Milk's political career was cut tragically short, he accomplished much during the final 11 months of his life while serving as the first openly gay Supervisor for San Francisco's Dis…
Close adult friendships, gender, and the life cycle
Drawing on 25,185 responses collected via an online news website, our findings extend and update Fischer and Oliker's (1983) classic study on gender and life cycle differences in friendship. We found no substantial gender differences in number of friends people can count on to celebrate birthdays, discuss intimate matters like one's sex life, or depend upon when experiencing trouble late at night ( ds = .04-.20); however, number of friendships va…
Gay and Lesbian Politics
Gay and lesbian politics in the United States have had a deep and long‐lasting impact on the twentieth and twenty‐first centuries, culminating in contemporary discourses and activist efforts surrounding issues such as family law, the military, and HIV/AIDS (see Brewer, Kaib, & O'Connor 2000: 401). Although the origins of US‐based gay and lesbian politics can be traced back as early as the 1890s (Shroedel & Fiber 2000), given space limitations, we…

The Language of Sexual Crime
Searching for Love in all the “Write” Places: Exploring Internet Personals Use by Sexual Orientation, Gender, and Age
Few researchers of Internet sexual exploration have systematically compared variance of use across sexual orientations, with even fewer surveying bisexual respondents. In 2004, 15,246 individuals responded to an online survey of their use of Internet personals and adult websites. Gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals (GLBs) were more likely than heterosexuals to have exchanged correspondence, met others offline, and had sex with someone they met throu…
