Boston Firsts $1.01 Boston Firsts is about everything (well, almost!) that happened first in Boston and changed life elsewhere: from the first lighthouse and public library to the first madam and ready-made suit. Boston-based journalist and essayist Lynda Morgenroth has written forty original essays on the city’s long history of innovation, from the colonial era to the present. These lively takes on Boston’s innovative history range from the first use of ether in publicly performed surgery to the first school desegregation court case to the one–and only–automatic bargain basement. Consider this: Ice cut from Boston ponds and shipped to hot climates became a worldwide industry. A controversial kidney transplant between twin brothers marked the start of organ transplantation. The glorious Massachusetts 54th Regiment was the first black army regiment in U.S. history. First newspaper, novel, subway, telephone, gay marriage–the beat goes on! Ranging from advances in science and engineering–the smallpox inoculation and the Boston Harbor cleanup–to innovations in culture and society–Fannie Farmer’s cookbook and the YMCA–the collection investigates, celebrates, and integrates America’s workshop of ideas. Morgenroth colors this thrilling history with hip, current observations and makes you notice just how vast and varied our accomplishments and inventions are. –Mopsy Strange Kennedy, Improper Bostonian Lynda Morgenroth, author of Boston Neighborhoods: A Food Lover’s Walking, Eating, and Shopping Guide to Ethnic Enclaves in and around Boston and longtime Boston Globe contributor, lives slightly northeast of Boston. |

Confessions of the Other Mother $16 After author Harlyn Aizley gave birth to her daughter, she watched in unanticipated horror as her partner scooped up the baby and said, I’m your new mommy! While they both had worked to find the perfect sperm donor, Aizley had spent nine months carrying the baby and hours in labor, so how could her partner claim to be their child’s mommy? Many diapers later, Aizley began to appreciate the complexity of her partner’s new role as the other mother. Together, they searched for stories about families like their own, in which a woman has chosen to forgo her own birth experience so that she might support her partner in hers. They found very few. Now, in Confessions of the Other Mother, Aizley has put together an exciting collection of personal stories by women like her partner who are creating new parenting roles, redefining motherhood, and reshaping our view of two-parent families. Contributors include Hillary Goodridge, who was one of the lead plaintiffs in the case for same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, stand-up comedian Judy Gold, and psychologist and author Suzanne M. Johnson This candid peek into a previously unexamined side of lesbian parenting is full of stories that are sometimes humorous, sometimes moving, but at all times celebratory. Each parenting tale sheds light on the many facets of motherhood, offering gay and straight readers alike a deeper understanding of what it means to love and parent in the twenty-first century. Harlyn Aizley is the author of Buying Dad: One Woman’s Search for the Perfect Sperm Donor. Her work has appeared in national journals, magazines, and anthologies and has aired on public radio stations nationwide. Aizley resides in the Boston areawith her family, where she works as a writer and teacher. |

Feminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet $68.6 Has feminism failed lesbianism? What issues belong at the top of a lesbian and gay political agenda? This controversial new book answers these question through an in-depth examination of lesbian and gay subordination. Calhoun seeks to firmly place sexual orientation politics within feminist theory and define the central political issues confronting lesbian and gay men. Cheshire Calhoun critiques the analytic frameworks employed within feminism that render invisible the differences between lesbian and heterosexual women in order to bring the study of lesbian life from the margins to the center of feminist theory. Throughout, Calhoun strives to move lesbian and gay politics away from concerns of sexual regulations and toward concerns of the displacement of gays and lesbians from both the public sphere of visible citizenship and the private sphere of romance, marriage, and family. This impassioned challenge to current feminist thought is must reading for those in the areas of political theory, gender studies, sociology, and women’s studies, as well as anyone concerned about the position of gays and lesbians in today’s political arena. |

Fire in the Soul $5.98 Reflecting the closeness of Puerto-Ricans in New York with those on the island, three stories among couples are set on the island and combined to cast emotions of passion, jealousy, doubt and infidelity-couples that are burned by sudden and unexpected feelings and are pushed to make the decision that will change their lives, forever influenced by the events of September 11 in New York City. The first story is between Millo and his wife Luisa. He is a Double AA baseball player that has missed his opportunities because his father held him back waiting for something better. His anger has turned into jealousy and frustration that will burst out when a new scout appears in town to recruit players, shying away from Millo and offering him a coaching job instead. Millo’s frustration makes him turn against everybody especially his wife whom he abuses physically, and the scout is the ultimate victim of his outrage. Luisa escapes to New York September 11. The second story is about a pilot who leads a double life as a married man with a daughter in Puerto Rico and a gay lover in New York, a flight attendant on his crew. His life will be turned upside down when his plane is redirected to Bermuda on his way to New York the morning of September 11. The third story is about Anhelo, mother of the flight attendant, who meets a younger man, a photojournalist and falls passionately in love with him, putting in jeopardy her reputation as an artist and her marriage of many years. The photojournalist is on his way to cover a conference in the World Trade Center. |

Gay Marriage: For Better or for Worse?: What We’ve Learned from the Evidence $3.06 Opponents of same-sex marriage in the United States often claim that allowing gays and lesbians to marry will lead to the downfall of the institution of marriage and will harm children. Drawing from 16 years of data and experience with same-sex unions in Scandinavia, Gay Marriage: For Betteror for Worse? is the first book to present empirical evidence about the results of same-sex marriage (in the form of registered partnerships) from the Nordic countries. Spedale and Eskridge demonstrate that conservative defense-of-marriage arguments that predict negative effects from gay marriage are invalid, and the Scandinavian experience suggests that the institution of marriage may indeed benefit from the enactment of gay marriage. If we look at the proof from abroad, the authors argue, we must conclude that the sanctioning of gay marriage in the United States would neither undermine marriage as an institution, nor harm the wellbeing of our nation’’s children. |

I Cant Marry You $24.95 A film about same-sex marriage, narrated by Betty DeGeneres, mother of comedian and talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres.This educational film explores the real life stories of 20 long term (10-55 years) gay and lesbian couples, and reveals the obstacles they encounter due to not being able to marry in the U.S. Included are pertinent facts and information from specialists on this topic, including renowned civil rights attorney Evan Wolfson of The Freedom to Marry Organization, and John J. McNeill, author of The Church and the Homosexual. Until the right of civil marriage is extended to same-sex couples in the United States, gays and lesbians will be denied over 1000 rights, benefits and equal protection under law, to which heterosexual couples are entitled. This is an important expose covering a history-changing event. |

Legalizing Gay Marriage $10.76 Every day seems to bring news of legal challenges to existing marriage laws and the constitutionality of any form of union for same-sex partners. In this timely and accessible book, Michael Mello argues that the public debates and political battles that have divided Vermont and Massachusetts will be repeated across the country as state after state confronts the issue of legalizing gay marriage. Mello examines recent landmark decisions in state and federal high courts granting civil rights protections to homosexuals. In Vermont, the Supreme Court’s recommendation that legislators recognize the common humanity that links all individuals irrespective of sexual identity and consider the question of same-sex marriage resulted in the first state legislation to establish civil union. In Massachusetts, the court’s ruling that gay marriage is a right protected by the state constitution has plunged the legislature into a contentious debate about a constitutional amendment. In both states, as in California and New York, public discussion of equal civil protections for gays and lesbians soon become mired in contending views of morality, religion, social mores, and the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. Mello regards the widespread and virulent opposition to any form of same-sex unions as proof that in Vermont, as elsewhere, homosexuals are indeed a despised minority in need of the law’s protection. Thus, civil union laws represent only a partial victory because they create a separate and inherently unequal category of relationships for gay people. Mello’s analysis of the issues provides an invaluable guide to the battles being waged in state legislatures and by politicians at the national level. |

Love and Globalization $29.95 Discussions of globalization usually focus on political, economic, and technological transformations, but fail to recognize how we experience these processes in our daily lives, including our most intimate acts and practices. In this volume, anthropologists and sociologists draw on long-term ethnographic research on love, gender, and sexuality in a broad range of regions to discuss how global forces shape marriage, commercial sex, the political economy of intimacy, and lesbian and gay expressions of companionship. The richly-textured ethnographies provoke a series of questions about emerging vocabularies for friendship and romance; the adoption of cultural forms from faraway places; the emergence of new desires, pleasures, and emotions that circulate as commodities in the global marketplace; and the ways economic processes shape public and private expressions of sexual intimacy. |

Same Sex, Different States $28.49 Must a state in which gay marriage is not legal recognize such a marriage performed in another state? The Constitution does not require recognition in all cases, but it does forbid states from nullifying family relationships based in other states, or from making themselves havens for people who are trying to escape obligations to their spouses and children. In this book, Andrew Koppelman offers workable legal solutions to the problems that arise when gay couples cross state borders. Drawing on historical precedents in which states held radically different moral views about marriage (for example, between kin, very young individuals, and interracial couples), Koppelman shows which state laws should govern in specific situations as gay couples travel or move from place to place.Americans are profoundly divided over same-sex marriage, and now that gay civil unions and marriages are legal in some states, the issue has become increasingly urgent. Koppelman offers a sensible approach that will appeal to the best instincts of both sides. |

Sexual Strangers $25.95 Is the United States a heterosexual regime? If it is, how may we understand the political position of those who cannot or will not align themselves with hetero sexuality? With these provocative questions, Shane Phelan raises the issue of whether lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people can be seen as citizens at all. Can citizenship be made queer? Or does citizenship require the exclusion of those who are regarded as queer to preserve the equality that it promises?In Sexual Strangers, Shane Phelan argues that, in the United States, queers are strangers — not exactly the enemy, since they are not excluded from all rights of citizenship, but not quite members. Rather, they are ambiguous figures who trouble the border between us and them , a border just as central to liberal regimes as to other states. Life on this border structures both the exclusion of sexual minorities and their ambivalence about becoming part of the mainstream .Sexual Strangers addresses questions of long-standing importance to minority group politics: the meaning and terms of inclusion, respect, and resistance. Phelan looks at citizenship as including not only equal protection and equal rights to such institutions as marriage and military service, but also political and cultural visibility, as inclusion in the national imaginary. She discusses the continuing stigmatization of bisexuals and transgendered people within lesbian and gay communities as a result of the attempt to flee from strangeness, a flight that inevitably produces new strangers. Her goal is to convince students of politics, both academic and activist, to embrace the rewards of strangeness as a means of achieving inclusivecitizenship, rather than a citizenship that defines itself by what it will not accept. |

The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family $3.57 From the Publisher: The true story of a marriage (not really), a lovable and relentless mother, a six-year old who says his parents cannot get married (but wants to go to the reception), a partner who doesn’t want to act like a straight person, and the author, who has written a hilarious and poignant memoir about making The Commitment.

What he discovers will make readers–gay or straight, right or left, single or married–howl with laughter as well as rethink their notions of marriage and all that it entails. |

Why do we have it in the first place? Where did it come from? What is it for? How is it changing? These are some of the hard questions The Future of Marriage confronts. |

Three Junes $127.31 Three Junes is a vividly textured symphonic novel set on both sides of the Atlantic during three fateful summers in the lives of a Scottish family. In June of 1989, Paul McLeod, the recently widowed patriarch, becomes infatuated with a young American artist while traveling through Greece and is compelled to relive the secret sorrows of his marriage. Six years later, Paul’s death reunites his sons at Tealing, their idyllic childhood home, where Fenno, the eldest, faces a choice that puts him at the center of his family’s future. A lovable, slightly repressed gay man, Fenno leads the life of an aloof expatriate in the West Village, running a shop filled with books and birdwatching gear. He believes himself safe from all emotional entanglements–until a worldly neighbor presents him with an extraordinary gift and a seductive photographer makes him an unwitting subject. Each man draws Fenno into territories of the heart he has never braved before, leading him toward an almost unbearable loss that will reveal to him the nature of love. Love in its limitless forms–between husband and wife, between lovers, between people and animals, between parents and children–is the force that moves these characters’ lives, which collide again, in yet another June, over a Long Island dinner table. This time it is Fenno who meets and captivates Fern, the same woman who captivated his father in Greece ten years before. Now pregnant with a son of her own, Fern, like Fenno and Paul before him, must make peace with her past to embrace her future. Elegantly detailed yet full of emotional suspense, often as comic as it is sad, Three Junes is a glorious triptych about how we learn to live, and livefully, beyond incurable grief and betrayals of the heart–how family ties, both those we’re born into and those we make, can offer us redemption and joy. From the Hardcover edition. |

Too Darn Hot: Writing about Sex Since Kinsey: An Anthology $1.01 The publication of Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male fifty years ago signaled the beginning of new era of sexual freedom. Sex entered the popular culture as never before, and the arts, especially literature, were invigorated by this new openness. Too Darn Hot gathers together fiction, poetry, memoir, and essays, as well as cultural artifacts — advice columns, personal ads, sex and marriage manuals, and even part of the Bible — to give a personal voice to Kinsey’s findings. They span the decades from the fifties to the present, offering highlights of the Beat era and the Sexual Revolution, the Women’s Liberation movement, the burgeoning Gay Rights movement, and other challenges to traditional society, whether individual or collective.Among the authors are Dorothy Allison, Philip Appleman, Chrystos, Junot Diaz, Diane di Prima, Mary Gaitskill, Mary Gordon, James Earl Hardy, Scarlot Harlot, Alan Helms, Herbert Huncke, Erica Jong, Jenifer Levin, Audre Lourde, Richard McCann, J. D. McClatchy, Sharon Olds, Lisa Palac, Philip Roth, Lloyd Schwartz, Alice Walker, and Andy Warhol.

Many are deeply reasoned; a few may be controversial. Each one is well-written and engaging, and makes a contribution in a thoughtful and unexpurgated manner to the public discussion that Kinsey began. |

Why Marriage Matters $16.99 At its core, the freedom-to-marry movement is about the same thing every civil rights struggle has been about: taking seriously our country’s promise to be a nation its citizens can make better, its promise to be a place where people don’t have to give up their differences or hide them in order to be treated equally. Why Marriage Matters offers a compelling, intelligently reasoned discussion of a question at the forefront of our national consciousness. It is the work of one of the most influential attorneys in America, who has dedicated his life to the protection of individuals’ rights and our Constitution’s commitment to equal justice under the law. Above all, it is a clear, straightforward book that brings into sharp focus the very human significance of the right to marry in America — not just for some couples, but for all.Why is the word marriage so important? Will marriage for same-sex couples hurt the sanctity of the institution? How can people of different faiths reconcile their beliefs with the idea of marriage for same-sex couples? How will allowing gay couples to marry affect children?In this quietly powerful volume, the most authoritative and fairly articulated book on the subject, Wolfson demonstrates why the right to marry is important — indeed necessary — for all couples and for America’s promise of equality. |
