Bisexuality in Education
Dr. Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli of the School of Health and Social Development at Deakin University (Burwood, Victoria, Australia) has undertaken a very important project in guest editing this special
Bisexuality and Schooling
It has long been known that schooling in the United States emphasizes and reproduces heteronormativity. With increasing frequency, gay and lesbian issues are being raised—given the presence of Gay-Straight Alliances in schools, the political discourse about gays and lesbians in the U.S. military, and the deeply contested politics of same-sex marriage. The focus of school culture in general, at best, is on either side of the continuum (i.e., heter…
A Decade of the Journal of Bisexuality
This article describes the contents of the Journal of Bisexuality since its inception a decade ago. In addition to reporting on the gender focus of the scholarly articles published on bisexuality, the research methodologies employed by authors and the extent to which the articles had an international focus, the authors identify the overall trends of the scholarship published in the Journal of Bisexuality. The authors conclude by offering suggesti…
Racialized Masculinities and the New Homonormativity in Logo'sNoah's Arc
Examining the relationship between neoliberalism, race, and gender performance, this article provides an analysis of Noah's Arc, a popular LOGO television series in the United States. More specifically, it focuses on the intricate relationship between specific forms of racialized masculinities and the new homonormativity in this show. This article is divided into six sections. First, an overview of the LOGO series is provided. Next, gay, lesbian,…
Queering the Politics of Lambda Picture Book Finalists
In many instances, adults serve as gatekeepers for what books children are permitted to explore. Unfortunately, this means that most children have limited access to picture books with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters. In this article, we use queer pedagogy and observations about neoliberalism to provide a qualitative analysis of LGBTQ characters in picture books which were finalists for a Lambda Literary Award dur…
Sexualities and Genders in an Age of Neoterrorism
Reflections About Bisexuality and the Journal of Bisexuality
In this reflection, the authors consider their previous work related to bisexuality in their scholarship and teaching and within a historical context. Although they have had some very different life circumstances and taught in very different institutions, the experiences they had with biphobia and stereotypes about bisexuality have been remarkably similar. They end with some thoughts on the future of the field, urging that a more serious consider…
Discourses of Exclusion
This article begins with a broad historical overview detailing how school-based sexuality education has been taught from a specific kind of heterosexual perspective that has excluded lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identified (LGBTQ) students as well as heterosexual students who do not fall along culturally dominant heterosexual lines. To illustrate such exclusionary sexuality education, we examine the discourses of exclusion in U.…
Bisexuality and School Culture
Bisexuality has been a neglected topic in U.S. schools. This is not entirely surprising given bisexuality's marginal positionality in U.S. society. Before exploring how, and to what degree, bisexuality gets treated in schools, this article sets the larger context by beginning with a brief description and analysis of societal attitudes about bisexuality in general. Then, an examination of the status of bisexuality in schools with particular foci o…
Shifting Ground(s)
While queer theory initially grew out of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) studies, there are numerous points of contestation between these two approaches, originating mostly from their disparate positions on (sexual) identity politics. To describe, analyze, and contextualize this contested terrain, we begin this piece by providing some historical notes on LGBT studies and queer theory. Next, we turn to an explication of some endurin…
Reflections on Queer Theory
A Critical Appraisal of Assimilationist and Radical Ideologies Underlying Same-Sex Marriage in LGBT Communities in the United States
Debates over same-sex marriage have reached the main stage of contemporary U.S. politics. The purpose of this essay is to identify and examine how sexual ideologies in U.S. LGBT communities inform and influence relationship construction in general and same-sex marriage in particular. To accomplish this, we first discuss the nature of sexual ideologies. Next, we identify current sexual ideologies in LGBT communities and examine some of their funda…

Queering Relationships
This article exposes, and is critical of, the blatant and insidious ways in which a specific brand of heterosexual relationship has been promoted as the ultimate relational form at the expense of others who neither believe in nor practice such idealized relationships. To uncover this multilayered and deeply imbedded ideology, this piece turns to a description and analysis of how various institutions (e.g., organized religion, medicine, education,…
A Critique and Synthesis of Biological Essentialism and Social Constructionist Views of Sexuality and Gender
To say that a person is homosexual is a statement about an individual in a particular social context and at a particular point in that person's life. Homosexuality is an aspect of sexual and gender expression that profoundly reflects contemporary social and cultural values. The essay is critical of both biological essentialist and social constructionist views. Biological essentialism depicts a process in which biological influences precede cultur…
History, Etymology, and Fallacy
This article examines the attitudes toward male masturbation in the ancient western world. More specifically, this work deals with ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. By comparing each epoch and geographic region, intolerance of autoerotic activity can be seen. Although there is a pattern of intolerance, the act of masturbation is always viewed provisionally. In addition, by examining these three periods of history not only can attitudes be scrutini…
