Synopsis
This work argues that homosexuality has become an issue precisely because of the way in which we discuss, debate and communicate about the concept and experience of homosexuality. It claims that the debate over homosexuality is fundamentally an issue of communication - as in the controversy over gays in the military, framed by communication-sensitive terms such as "morale" and "discipline". The 20 chapters address such subjects: as gay political language; homosexuality and AIDs on prime-time television; the politics of male homosexuality in young adult fiction; the identification of female athleticism with lesbianism; the politics of identity in the works of Edmund White; and coming-out strategies. This book should be of interest to students of communication practices and theory, and for everyone interested in human sexuality., This work argues that the debate over homosexuality is fundamentally an issue of communication. Chapters address such subjects as: gay political language; homosexuality and AIDs on prime-time television; the politics of male homosexuality in young adult fiction; and coming-out strategies., In many arenas the debate is raging over the nature of sexual orientation. Queer Words, Queer Images addresses this debate, but with a difference, arguing that homosexuality has become an issue precisely because of the way in which we discuss, debate, and communicate about the concept and experience of homosexuality. The debate over homosexuality is fundamentally an issue of communication--as we can see by the recent controversy over gays in the military. This controversy, termed by one gay man as the annoying habit of heterosexual men to overestimate their own attractiveness, has been debated in communication-sensitive terms, such as morale and discipline. The twenty chapters address such subjects as gay political language, homosexuality and AIDS on prime-time television, the politics of male homosexuality in young adult fiction, the identification of female athleticism with lesbianism, the politics of identity in the works of Edmund White, and coming out strategies. This is must reading for students of communication practices and theory, and for everyone interested in human sexuality.

Devito (Hunter College, CUNY), Timothy Edgar (Purdue), Mary Anne Fitzpatrick (Wisconsin, Madison), Karen A.
