Showing results for "SARA" in LGBTQ+

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached.

I’ve moved past what happened on Del Rey, and I’ve kept the secret of what I did—what we did—buried deep. But I’m afraid I’ll never move past what happened six months later in Amsterdam. When Ellis Prior, an old friend of my dad’s, walked back into my life, we became fast friends, and he showed me things I can’t forget—things that brought me to my knees. But I walked away from that life, and I never looked back.

As a professional Domme, I see men and women come and go. But no one ever sticks around, and I like it that way. I have a secret to protect—at all costs. So when the cocky, handsome, and submissive Clay Bradley weasels his way into my heart, I do the one thing I’ve always excelled at. I push him away—forever. And like a good boy, he listens. But a few months later, during a chance encounter, he shows up again, but this time he isn’t alone. He has the stunning Jade on his arm.

I've been faithful long enough. I never claimed to be a good man, but I've always done what was expected of me. Find a nice girl. Get married. Have children. That was my duty as a good Christian man. And everything was going as planned when I met Briar. Beautiful. Charismatic. Sexy. But marriage is hard, and after seven years, I feel like I'm failing. Then, a figure from my past enters the picture.

Bataar was only a child when he killed a gryphon, making him a legend across the Red Steppe. As an adult, he is the formidable Bataar Rhah, chosen by god to rule the continent that once scorned his people. After a string of improbable victories, he turns his sights on the wealthy, powerful kingdom of Dumakra, whose princesses rule the skies from the backs of pegasuses.

I’ve been alone long enough. As a chart-topping country singer, I’m living the dream. While my family is all back in Austin, embracing their happily-ever-afters, I’m on the road on a sold-out tour. I should feel ecstatic, yet all I am is lonely. Maybe that’s why I find myself drawn to a fan who pops up at one of my shows. Something about the way he watches me on stage has me thinking… he knows my secret. And after the first kiss, I can’t seem to let him go. But Jensen Miles has some secrets of his own: He isn’t just a regular fan. He’s a preacher.

Rifugio, palcoscenico, spazio di incontri, di solidarietà, di espressione sessuale: il bar gay è stato a lungo il luogo in cui una comunità priva di diritti e di rappresentazione, esclusa dal centro della scena e delle città, ha potuto riunirsi, sperimentare l’appartenenza, esistere davvero. Oggi, uno per uno, quei luoghi stanno scomparendo, chiusi oppure trasformati in qualcosa di più innocuo (e certo più commerciabile). Possiamo leggerlo come un buon segno, la dimostrazione che non c’è più ragione di nascondersi; ma, senza voler negare il valore di quello che abbiamo guadagnato, è possibile raccontare anche quello che stiamo perdendo?

Voces vibrantes en la celebración de la palabra y el deseo. Lo queer supone una respuesta amplia a los roles de género tradicionales del universo heteropatriarcal. Como la literatura se alimenta de la identidad personal, la escritura queer refleja la experiencia autobiográfica y el pensamiento crítico del autor queer, nuevas vías que abren fugas al patriarcado global.
