Spring 2016 Special Issue : Sexuality in the Post-Marriage Equality Era
This special issue of the Humboldt Journal of Social Relations (HJSR) examines U.S. culture and politics after the marriage equality tipping point. As of February 2015, 71% of the U.S. is living in a state where same-sex marriage is legal. Many queer activists have been concerned that the focus on marriage equality would take away from other queer social movements, or fundamentally change queer norms and institutions. Has that happened ? What is next for queers in the U.S.? Submissions are due on September 11, 2015. Proposed topics include :
· Notions of the “family”—has marriage equality changed the queer family and kinship system ? Do queer people now face additional pressure to have kids ?
· Next and continuing steps for queer social movements.
· New and changing intersections between queer and other identities, such as racial, religious, immigration status, ability or fat.
· Changing issues of rights, such as housing and employment.
· Bridges between queer social movements and others, such as immigration, homelessness, prison abolition and environmental activism.
· Renewed or diminished focus on political participation, including voting, running for office, holding office and lobbying.
· Changing strategies of litigation in queer movements.
· Major issues around which we raise funds and awareness for queer issues.
· The evolving social and political relationship with the T in LGBT.
