Abstract

What if you could trust in getting the health care you need in ways that felt good and helped you thrive? What if the health system honoured and valued queer and trans people''s lives, bodies, and expertise? What if LGBTQ+ communities led and organized our own health care as a form of mutual aid? What if every aspect of our health care was rooted in a commitment to our healing, pleasure, and liberation?

LGBTQ+ health care doesn't look like this today, but it could. This is the care we dream of.

The Care We Dream Of is not quite an essay collection, and not quite an anthology. Instead, it's a hybrid kind of book that weaves together the author's [sic] essays on topics like queering health and healing, transforming the health system, kinship, aging, and death, alongside stories, poetry and non-fiction pieces by Alexander McClelland and Zoe Dodd, Blyth Barnow, Carly Boyce, jaye simpson, Jillian Christmas, Joshua Wales, Kai Cheng Thom, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Sand C. Chang. The book also includes interviews with activists, health care workers and researchers whose work offers insights into what liberatory and transformative approaches to LGBTQ+ health can look like in practice. Interviewees include Anita "Durt" O'Shea (of St. James Infirmary), Dawn Serra, Hannah Kia, Ronica Mukerjee, and Sean Saifa Wall.

Homosexuality(Gay, Lesbian Health Issues)

Abstract

Comment expliquer que certains d?entre nous soient homosexuels, d?autres hétérosexuels et plusieurs plus ou moins bisexuels? D?où vient notre orientation sexuelle, et l?homosexualité en particulier? Est-elle normale? Contre nature? Naît-on ainsi ? Résulte-t-elle de déterminismes biologiques? De l?éducation familiale? d?expériences précoces? S?agirait-il plutôt d?un choix? Et pourquoi certains sont-ils homophobes? L?étendue de l?ignorance en matière d?orientation sexuelle est, encore de nos jours, aussi consternante que regrettable, et notre système d?éducation ne semble pas vouloir remédier à la situation. L?information existe pourtant mais, selon toute apparence, elle est encore très mal diffusée et, lorsqu?elle l?est, souvent confuse. C?est pourquoi l?auteur propose ici une présentation à la fois synthétique et vivante des connaissances actuelles. Ce livre s?adresse à quiconque s?intéresse à ces questions qui, pourtant, nous concernent tous.
