Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People

Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People helps you look past the stereotypical picture of violence against sexual minorities--the public physical assaults on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth by hypermasculine male thugs--and directs you towards the many daily acts of quiet violence that go on, unhindered, in the workaday settings of our legal, social, education, and law-enforcement institutions.

You'll learn about the frightening prevalence of complacency, homophobic ignorance, and apathy that pervades our police departments, courts, high schools, and churches. Also, armed with this critical insight and statistical research, you'll be better equipped to wage a nonviolent war of fairness and mutual respect against the daily, senseless violence of policy and practice that threatens to render gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people unwelcome and battered citizens in their own communities.
