Book Gay Men  Sex and HIV in New Zealand

Download or read book Gay Men Sex and HIV in New Zealand written by Heather Worth and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gay community has experienced the greatest impact of AIDS in New Zealand. Through the two decades since the HIV epidemic struck here, gay and bisexual men have had to come to terms with death: either their own or that of their friends and loved ones. They have had to reinvent sexual practice and learn to keep themselves and their partners safe. This book tells the story of that journey. It aims to give the reader an overview of gay men's lives in the era of AIDS, their sexual practices and the strategies they have used in dealing with the epidemic. It uses data, both qualitative and quantitative, gathered by the author and other researchers from a range of projects that investigate the hard facts about gay men's response to the virus as well as their personal stories.

Book Worlds in Collision

    Book Details:
  • Author : Laurie Guy
  • Publisher : Victoria University Press
  • Release : 2002
  • ISBN : 9780864734389
  • Pages : 348 pages

Download or read book Worlds in Collision written by Laurie Guy and published by Victoria University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from 1960 to 1986 was distinguished by the debate over decriminalization of sexual acts between males. In the 1960s homosexual men faced prison sentences if they were sexually active, and so they made themselves invisible. By 1986 they were demanding their rights and the nation's attention. This change had come after years of debate. The New Zealand Homosexual Law Reform Society and the gay liberation movement actively sought reform. Many within society actively opposed it, and the issue became a catalyst for a significant rift in the churches. Intense lobbying and vehement opposition marked the fifteen months before the Homosexual Law Reform Bill was passed in July 1986. Based on 22 interviews with important participants in the debates, as well as extensive research in archives and published material, Worlds in Collision is the first time this important story has been told. It is a major contribution not only to the international literature on the history of homosexuality but also to our understanding of New Zealand society in the later twentieth century.

Book excerpt: A remarkable anthology of queer New Zealand voices. We became teenagers in the nineties when New Zealand felt a lot less cool about queerness and gender felt much more rigid. We knew instinctively that hiding was the safest strategy. But how to find your community if you're hidden? Aotearoa is a land of extraordinary queer writers, many of whom have contributed to our rich literary history. But you wouldn't know it. Decades of erasure and homophobia have rendered some of our most powerful writing invisible. Out Here will change that. This landmark book brings together and celebrates queer New Zealand writers from across the gender and LGBTQIA+ spectrum with a generous selection of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and much, much more. From established names to electrifying newcomers, the cacophony of voices brought together in Out Here sing out loud and proud, ensuring that future generations of queers are afforded the space to tell their stories and be themselves without fear of retribution or harm.

Book Crime  Law and Justice in New Zealand

Download or read book Crime Law and Justice in New Zealand written by Greg Newbold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Law and Justice in New Zealand examines the recent crime trends and the social, political, and legal changes in New Zealand from the end of the twentieth century to the present. Serving as the only New Zealand–specific criminal justice text, this book takes a direct look at what is unique about the country’s criminal justice system and recent crime trends. Crime rates peaked in the early 1990s and have fallen since. Newbold considers why this happened through factors such as economy, ethnic composition, changing cultural trends, and legislative developments in policing and criminal justice. He unpacks various types of crime separately—violent crime, property crime, drug crime, gang crime, organised crime, etc.—and examines each in terms of the various complex factors affecting it, using illustrative examples from recent high-profile cases. The cover photo for Crime, Law and Justice in New Zealand was taken by Jono Rotman.

Book Male Homosexual Behavior and the Effects of AIDS Education

Download or read book Male Homosexual Behavior and the Effects of AIDS Education written by B R Simon Rosser and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1991-11-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the AIDS epidemic was recognized, information on safer sex has been assumed to be the most crucial means of preventing further spread of the disease. But how well has AIDS education worked? What kinds of education work best and for whom? This study is the first to provide an in-depth analysis of the results of AIDS education programs and to explore the psychosocial factors that affect behavioral responses to education. B. R. Simon Rosser provides a detailed profile of a specific population at risk, including factors such as sexual behavior, psychology, religious affiliation, legal status, and discrimination. Using comparative measures of behavior, personality, social status, attitudes, and risk-taking, he identifies important differences between homosexual men who engage in safer sex and those who do not. Finally, he evaluates the impact of different approaches to AIDS education. Examining both positive and negative effects, Rosser shows that the spread of the HIV virus was actually accelerated by a national education campaign utilizing fear, and contrasts this result with four international gay-sensitive education campaigns that produced positive changes in behavior and lifestyle. He discusses ways in which AIDS education must develop in order to become more effective, together with crucial changes that are needed in both the gay population and the larger community if HIV transmission is to be halted. This study is a valuable resource for education and research in AIDS prevention, sexual behavior, psychovenereology, education, health, and related disciplines.

Book The Married Homosexual Man

Download or read book The Married Homosexual Man written by Michael W. Ross and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘All that is left is to pretend. But to pretend to the end of one’s life is the highest torment.’ So wrote the composer Peter Tchaikovsky following his marriage to his student, Antonina Milyukov, 1877. How common is such a conclusion today amongst males with homosexual tendencies and who have married women? Why homosexuals marry women, and the consequences, are open questions to which this book, originally published in 1983, addresses itself. Despite a recent increase in publications on homosexuality at the time, there was very little available on the married homosexual man, and this study was particularly welcome in that it provided information and conclusions which would assist both the lay person and the helping professional to a better understanding. Michael Ross describes the social pressures which affect homosexuals, and looks at the effects of living in a contradictory life-style. He looks at the heterosexually-married homosexual man in terms of his reasons for his marriage, the problems he finds in his marriage, and some of the adjustments and adaptations he makes in response to the pressures from family and society. The socio-psychological profile of the married homosexual which is provided here explains both the mechanisms by which homosexuals deal with societal pressures and the problems and perspectives of the married homosexual. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1983. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
