{"product_id":"few-good-gays","title":"Few Good Gays","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe US military has done an about-face on gender and sexuality policy over the last decade, ending DonÕt Ask, DonÕt Tell, restrictions on women in combat, and transgender exclusion. Contrary to expectations, servicemembers have largely welcomed cisgender LGB individualsÑyet they continue to vociferously resist trans inclusion and the presence of women on the front lines. In the minds of many, the embodied ÒdeficienciesÓ of cisgender women and trans people of all genders puts othersÑand indeed, the nationÑat risk.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Cati Connell identifies the homonormative bargain that underwrites these uneven patterns of receptionÑa bargain that comes with significant concessions, upholding and even exacerbating race, class, and gender inequality in the pursuit of sexual equality. In this handshake deal, even the widespread support for open LGB service is highly conditional, revocable upon violation of the bargain. Despite the promise of inclusivity, in practice, the military has made room only for a Òfew good gays,Ó to the exclusion of all others.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eBut should equal access be the goal? How did we get from there to here? And where do we go next? In analyzing inclusion as a social movement aspiration, Connell shows that its steep price is exacted through the continued abjection of queered Others, both at home and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cati Connell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49013687943321,"sku":"9780520382695","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/5642\/6905\/files\/71S5zvpHnXL._SY342_245ea12d-f313-447e-a4a8-8f5bbb15586d.jpg?v=1789228365","url":"https:\/\/booksworldstore.com\/products\/few-good-gays","provider":"Books World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
