Beginning with the founding of the profession in the late 1920's and continuing into the post-September 11 era, Plane Queer examines the history of men who joined workplaces customarily identified as female-oriented. It examines the various hardships these men faced at work, paying particular attention to the conflation of gender-based, sexuality-based, and AIDS-based discrimination. Tiemeyer also examines how this heavily gay-identified group of workers created an important place for gay men to come out, garner acceptance from their fellow workers, fight homophobia and AIDS phobia, and advocate for LGBT civil rights. All the while, male flight attendants facilitated key breakthroughs in gender-based civil rights law, including an important expansion of the ways that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act would protect workers from sex discrimination. Throughout their history, men working as flight attendants helped evolve an industry often identified with American adventuring, technological innovation, and economic power into a queer space. 606 $aFlight attendants$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aFlight attendants$xLabor unions$zUnited States 606 $aGay people$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aSexual orientation$zUnited States 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States$xHistory 610 $a1964 civil rights act. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aaids phobia. 610 $aair transport. 610 $acareer. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aflight. 610 $aflying. 610 $agay men. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory of lgbt. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahiv aids. 610 $ahomophobia. 610 $ahomosexual panic. 610 $alabor. 610 $algbt business. 610 $algbt history. 610 $algbt interest. 610 $algbt. 610 $algbtqia. 610 $alively. 610 $amale flight attendants. 610 $apage turner. 610 $apilots. 610 $apolitical. 610 $aqueer books. 610 $aqueer studies. 610 $aqueer. 610 $asex and gender. 610 $asex and sexuality. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asocial justice. 615 0$aFlight attendants$xHistory. 615 0$aFlight attendants$xLabor unions 615 0$aGay people$xEmployment 615 0$aSexual orientation 615 0$aCivil rights$xHistory. 676 $a331.7/61387742 700 $aTiemeyer$b Philip James$f1970-$01623519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826792603321 996 $aPlane queer$93957935 997 $aUNINA
