Myths, such as \"All Religions Condemn Homosexuality\" and \"Transgender People Are Mentally Ill,\" have been used to justify discrimination and oppression of LGBT people. Others, such as \"Homosexuals Are Born That Way,\" have been embraced by LGBT communities and their allies. In discussing and dispelling these myths--including gay-positive ones--the authors challenge readers to question their own beliefs and to grapple with the complexities of what it means to be queer in the broadest social, political, and cultural sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Bronski, Ann Pellegrini, Michael Amico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807042455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807042458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.57w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013 pg. 6","brand":"Michael Bronski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181098266879,"sku":"9780807042458","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6b97701-e2e1-44c1-b84d-b4b3ab3d2262.jpg?v=1690258546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-can-tell-just-by-michael-bronski-9780807042458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
