The year 2003 marks the 30th anniversary of the landmark ""declassification"" of homosexuality as a disease by the American Psychiatric Association--a watershed in the lives of gays and lesbians in the United States. For the first time in history, a generation of self-identified lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals are approaching retirement. This volume brings to the forefront important issues concerning the health, mental health, and concomitant special social service needs of this population and emphasizes the need for more research on aging sexual minorities.

In this moving and funny memoir, award-winning playwright Guillermo Reyes untangles his life as the secretly illegitimate son of a Chilean immigrant to the United State and as a young man struggling with sexual repression, body image, and gay identity. But this is a double-decker memoir that also tells the poignant, bittersweet, and adventurous story of Guillermo's mother Maria, who supports herself and her son cleaning houses and then working as a nanny in Washington, D.C., and eventually in Hollywood. In one memorable scene, after realizing that her friend Carmen is cleaning the house of one of the producers of Annie Hall, Maria recruits her to take her picture as she poses dramatically with Mr. Joffe's Oscar in hand. It is Maria's defiant yet determined attitude amidst her sacrifices that allows for Guillermo's spirited coming of age and coming out. "Guillermo Reyes's memoir is an endearing story of `one mother and one son--a pair of Chilean outsiders navigating the world together but looking at the landscape through diverging lenses. She in search of activity and adventure, and he, getting stuck on his fears and obsessions. Their common ground is the drama of their encounters with discovery, heartbreak, and passion--the explosive emotions that light up the stage of their two-actor theater, Full of compassion and humor, Madre and / is a love letter to a woman's extraordinary vitality, staying one step ahead to pave the way for her timid boy to become a man."--Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of Butterfly Boy: Memories of a Chicano Mariposa. "Candor, great wit and humor"--Horacio N. Roque Ramirez, University of California, Santa Barbara --Book Jacket.

Queer linguistics has only recently developed as an area of study; however academic interest in this field is rapidly increasing. Despite its growing appeal, many books on 'gay language' focus on private conversation and small communities. As such, Public Discourses of Gay Men represents an important corrective, by investigating a variety of sources in the public domain. A broad range of material, including tabloid newspaper articles, political debates on homosexual law and erotic narratives are used in order to analyse the language surrounding homosexuality.
