Edited by Martin F. Manalansan IV, Alice Y. Hom, and Kale Bantigue Fajardo
First published in 1998, Q & A: Queer in Asian America, edited by David L. Eng and Alice Y. Hom, became a canonical work in Asian American studies and queer studies. This new edition of Q & A is neither a sequel nor an update, but an entirely new work borne out of the progressive political and cultural advances of the queer experiences of Asian North American communities.
The artists, activists, community organizers, creative writers, poets, scholars, and visual artists that contribute to this invigorating new volume produce visible the complicated intertwining of sexuality with race, class, gender, and ethnicity. Sections address protest, radicalism, and social justice; transformations in the meaning of Asian-ness and queerness in various mass media issues of queerness in relation to settler colonialism and diaspora; and issues of bodies, health, disability, gender transitions, death, healing, and resilience.
The visual art, autobiographical writings, poetry, scholarly essays, meditations, and analyses of histories and well-liked culture in the new
One in five syphilis cases in Chicago gay men due to oral sex
The Chicago Department of Universal Health (CDPH) has found that at least one in five cases of primary and secondary syphilis among same-sex attracted men in the city appears to have been caught through oral sex. In contrast, only one in 16 of cases among heterosexuals seems to have been orally transmitted. This ruling was published in the October 22nd edition of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Between 1998 and 2002, Chicago had the highest syphilis incidence of any city in the United States. During this period 1582 cases of main and secondary syphilis were recorded by the CDPH. A successful prevention campaign has since begun to reduce the incidence of syphilis.
The overall rate has remained remarkably firm during this moment, varying between 338 and 353 cases annually, or 11.8 to 12.2 per 100,000 people.

Internet the most commonly used venue to cruise for sex by gay men with syphilis in SF
The most commonly used venue used by gay men diagnosed with syphilis in the San Francisco area in 2002 and 2003, to meet other gay men for sex was the internet according to a study published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly on December 19th 2003. A second study published in the December edition of Sexually Transmitted Infections (click here to read an aidsmap inform on that study) found that although gay men using the internet to find sexual partners were no more likely to have unprotected anal sex than non-internet users, they were at increased risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection.
Syphilis rates have increased significantly amongst same-sex attracted men in San Francisco, in common with many other urban populations of gay men across Europe and the United States, since 1999. By 2002, San Francisco had the highest rate of syphilis in the Merged States. Public health officials in San Francisco wished to set up the extent to which homosexual men with syphilis were using the internet to meet other men for sex, and if the internet could be used for contact tracing and for providing inform
“Equal Rights Are Not Special”: Advocates Call for an End to Anti-Gay Employment Discrimination
Although Title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex, as of 2002, no Federal law prevents an employer from discrimination based on sexual orientation. With the advent of the same-sex attracted liberation movement in 1969, grassroots and national groups fought for legal protection for gay men and lesbians in the workplace, educational institutions, and housing. In 1972, East Lansing, Michigan, became the first city to forbid discrimination in local government hiring based on sexual orientation. While more than 175 localities and 13 states have passed similar antidiscrimination legislation, opponents have successfully campaigned to stop or repeal such laws by arguing that they conferred “special rights” on same-sex attracted men and lesbians. Colorado voters in a 1992 referendum adopted an amendment to their State Constitution to prohibit protection of persons based on their “homosexual, lesbian or bisexual person orientation, conduct, practices or relationships.” Although the U.S. Sup
