        Queer Holiness

        The Gift of LGBTQI People to the Church

        by Charlie Bell

        LGBTQI people in the church have spent a long time being told what God expects of them and how they should behave. From prohibitions on who they might love or marry, to erasure and denial, the theological record is one in which LGBTQI people are far too often objectified and their lives seen as the property of others. In no other significant religious question are ‘theological’ arguments made that so clearly reject overwhelming scientific and experiential knowledge about the human person. This book seeks to find a better way to do theology – not about, but with and of LGBTQI people – taking insights from the sciences and personal narratives as it seeks to answer the question: ‘What does human flourishing look like?’

        My Name is Philippa

        by Philippa Ryder

        ‘My Name is Philippa offers every reader a story that will change their heart. So be prepared, with a mind open enough to hear Philippa’s story, to feel altered by the palpable love that fills these pages. As she herself proclaims in the opening line, "This is primarily a love story”.’ Katherine E. Zappone.   With the support and help of her family, Philippa Ryder helped transform Irish culture. Growing up as a boy in the 1960s seemed wrong to her. Why did she want to dress in her sister’s clothes and later her wife’s? It wasn’t until the 1990s, she found she wasn’t the only person to do this. Philippa is transgender.   Transitioning from male to female wasn’t an easy journey. My Name is Philippa is a remarkable memoir, and above all, a story about love, understanding and a family who stuck together as Philippa moved from husband and father to wife and mother.   Within these pages Philippa offers answers to many questions people ask, genuinely, to understand what it means to be transgender. She describes the physical as well as the emotional process of Transition. Philippa’s life story joins the global march to freedom and empowerment for every gendered human being. She voices truth out of silence, courage through fear, and joy by following the horizon she sees.

        We are all going to be alright

        by Sérgio Tavares

        This ambitious debut novel aims to portrait a generation that fought for an ideal of freedom and was not ready to live it when it was achieved, converting it into squalor, melancholy, tragedy.   Through setbacks in time and alternation of narrative voices, the story follows the tortuous and errant paths of the couple Roberto and Lúcia. Roberto is a businessman who got rich working for companies that financed the military dictatorship, and lives immersed in a sexual obsession and the lies to cover it up; Lúcia is a former MR-8 guerrilla, who took part in bank robberies and kidnappings, ended up arrested, tortured and exiled. From the late 1960s until the dawn of the new millennium, passing through decisive events such as the Brazilian redemocratization and the HIV epidemic, their trajectory stands a symbol of impossibilities of a generation.

        Henry Hamlet's Heart

        by Rhiannon Wilde

        I’m losing it because I kissed you / Because I kissed you I might lose you.   Henry Hamlet doesn’t know what he wants after school ends. It’s his last semester of Year Twelve and all he’s sure of is his uncanny ability to make situations awkward. Luckily, he can always hide behind his enigmatic best friend, Len. They’ve been friends since forever, but where Len is mysterious, Henry is clumsy; where Len is a heart-throb, Henry is a neurotic mess. Somehow it’s always worked.   That is, until Henry falls. Hard. For the last person he imagined.   From an exciting debut author comes this passionate story of growing up, letting go, and learning how to love.

        SELF-ish: A Transgender Awakening

        by Chloe Schwenke

        SELF-ISH IS A NARRATIVE DRAWN FROM AN INTERNATIONAL LIFE, beginning with some early glimpses out at the world by a girl in a boy’s body. Chloe was raised as Stephen in a Marine Corps family and was sent off at age 14 to “man up” at a military academy. Later—and still embodied as a man—she ventured abroad to work in some of the roughest regions of Africa, the Gaza Strip, Turkey, and many other locales. Her far-flung global journey was matched in intensity by an inner identity and spiritual struggle and the associated ravages of depression, before she came to the revelation of being a transgender woman. At a time when many Americans are just waking up to the reality of the transgender phenomenon, this portrayal of Chloe’s life, her challenging gender transition, and her many accomplishments and adventures along the way (including being among the first three transgender political appointees in U.S. history, under President Obama), creates a poignant story of authenticity, self-discovery, and the meaning of gender set against a fascinating international backdrop.
