Murmur
\"[The author] invites us into the brilliant mind of Alec Pryor, a character inspired by Alan Turing. Turing, father of artificial intelligence and pioneer of radical new techniques to break the Nazi Enigma cipher during World War II, was later persecuted by the British state for 'gross indecency with another male' and forced to undergo chemical castration. Set during the devastating period before Turing's suicide, Murmur evokes an extraordinary life, the beauty and sorrows of love, and the nature of consciousness\" -- Provided by publisher.

Diversidade sexual noTribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul: homofobia clássica e moderna em 50 anos de decisões criminais (1970-2019)
Este artigo examina decisões judiciais criminais do Poder Judiciário do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil) mediante a consideração de manifestações homofóbicas clássicas (fortemente repressivas da diversidade sexual) e modernizadas (caracterizadas por assimilacionismo das diferenças sexuais a padrões familistas tradicionais). Empregando o método da Análise Temática e por buscas realizadas por ferramenta informatizada no banco de dados de decisões judiciais do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (TJRS) e pesquisa física junto ao Arquivo Judicial Central de Porto Alegre, foram selecionados 112 processos, totalizando 100 decisões. Constataram-se a elevação quantitativa das decisões, a alteração terminológica na designação dos indivíduos homossexuais envolvidos. Cabe destacar que as manifestações de homofobia clássica apresentam redução na linha temporal, sem, contudo, desaparecer. Percebe-se também o crescimento de manifestações modernas de homofobia, também ampliadas ao longo do tempo, caracterizando a complexidade do campo jurídico.

Durably reducing transphobia: A field experiment on door-to-door canvassing
Existing research depicts intergroup prejudices as deeply ingrained, requiring intense intervention to lastingly reduce. Here, we show that a single approximately 10-minute conversation encouraging actively taking the perspective of others can markedly reduce prejudice for at least 3 months. We illustrate this potential with a door-to-door canvassing intervention in South Florida targeting antitransgender prejudice. Despite declines in homophobia, transphobia remains pervasive. For the intervention, 56 canvassers went door to door encouraging active perspective-taking with 501 voters at voters' doorsteps. A randomized trial found that these conversations substantially reduced transphobia, with decreases greater than Americans' average decrease in homophobia from 1998 to 2012. These effects persisted for 3 months, and both transgender and nontransgender canvassers were effective. The intervention also increased support for a nondiscrimination law, even after exposing voters to counterarguments.

Global Homophobia
While homophobia is commonly characterized as individual and personal prejudice, this collection of essays instead explores homophobia as a transnational political phenomenon. Contributors theorize homophobia as a distinct configuration of repressive state-sponsored policies and practices with their own causes, explanations, and effects on how sexualities are understood and experienced in a range of national contexts. The essays include a broad range of geographic cases, including Cameroon, Ecuador, Iran, Lebanon, Poland, Singapore, and the United States.

Experiences of Discrimination and Their Impact on the Mental Health Among African American, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We examined the associations between specific types and sources of discrimination and mental health outcomes among US racial/ethnic minority men who have sex with men (MSM) and how these associations varied by race/ethnicity. Methods. A chain-referral sample of 403 African American, 393 Asian and Pacific Islander (API), and 400 Latino MSM recruited in Los Angeles County, California completed a standardized questionnaire. Data were obtained from the Ethnic Minority Men’s Health Study from May 2008 to October 2009. Results. Past-year experiences of racism within the general community and perceived homophobia among heterosexual friends were positively associated with depression and anxiety. Past-year homophobia experienced within the general community was also positively associated with anxiety. These statistically significant associations did not vary across racial/ethnic groups. The positive association of perceived racism within the gay community with anxiety differed by race/ethnicity, and was statistically significant only for APIs. Perceived homophobia within the family was not associated with either depression or anxiety. Conclusions. Higher levels of experiences of discrimination were associated with psychological distress among MSM of color. However, specific types and sources of discrimination were differentially linked to negative mental health outcomes among African American, API, and Latino MSM.
