Confronting Heteronormative Discourse: Perspectives on GLTB identity struggles

• In Event: Scholar to Scholar I

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Gay Lesbian Transgendered and Bisexual subjects face struggles in nearly every aspect of their social lives. GLTB identities face possibilities of oppression in everyday life duties including; the workplace, interactions among racial and ethnic social groups, dining, medical appointments, among others. More scholarship is needed to address these concerns not simply to expose problems but also to provide a dialogue where we can provide theoretical as well as practical solutions to the dominate heteronormative culture.
