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.
