Mary L. Gray maps out the experiences of young people living in small towns across rural Kentucky and along its desolate Appalachian borders, providing a fascinating and often surprising look at the contours of gay life beyond the big city. Gray illustrates that, against a backdrop of an increasingly impoverished and privatized rural America, LGBT youth and their allies visibly--and often vibrantly--work the boundaries of the public spaces available to them, whether in the high schools, publc libraries, town hall meetings, churches, or through websites.Intersections (New York, N.Y.)HomosexualitätswdJugendswdLändlicher RaumswdLandsbygdsbefolkningsaoUngdomarsaoTranspersonersaoHomosexualitetsaoMediengndLändlicher RaumgndJugendgndHomosexualitätgndRural populationfast(OCoLC)fst01101774Gay youthfast(OCoLC)fst00939235SOCIAL SCIENCEPopular CulturebisacshSOCIAL SCIENCEAnthropologyCulturalbisacshPOLITICAL SCIENCEPublic PolicyCultural PolicybisacshSOCIAL SCIENCEGay StudiesbisacshRural populationKentuckyGay youthKentuckyKentuckyswdFörenta staternaKentuckysaoKentuckygndKentuckyfastElectronic books.
