Edited by popular author Shane Allison, Homo Thugs includes stories by Christopher Pierce, Jay Starre, Peter Eros, Landon Dixon and many more seasoned writers, who capture the sleazier side of the masculine brutes from gay gangbangers to queer mob bosses and pimps on the down low.

Book Description
Honorable Mention, 2018 Distinguished Book Award presented by the American Sociological Association’s Sociology of Sexualities Section The first inside look at gay gang members. Many people believe that gangs are made up of violent thugs who are in and out of jail, and who are hyper-masculine and heterosexual. In The Gang’s All Queer, Vanessa Panfil introduces us to a different world. Meet gay gang members – sometimes referred to in popular culture as “homo thugs” – whose gay identity complicates criminology’s portrayal and representation of gangs, gang members, and gang life. In vivid detail, Panfil provides an in-depth understanding of how gay gang members construct and negotiate both masculine and gay identities through crime and gang membership. The Gang’s All Queer draws from interviews with over 50 gay gang- and crime-involved young men in Columbus, Ohio, the majority of whom are men of color in their late teens and early twenties, as well as on-the-ground ethnographic fieldwork with men who are in gay, hybrid, and straight gangs. Panfil provides an eye-opening portrait of how even members of straight gangs are connected to a same-sex oriented underground world. Most of these young men still present a traditionally masculine persona and voice deeply-held affection for their fellow gang members. They also fight with their enemies, many of whom are in rival gay gangs. Most come from impoverished, ‘rough’ neighborhoods, and seek to defy negative stereotypes of gay and Black men as deadbeats, though sometimes through illegal activity. Some are still closeted to their fellow gang members and families, yet others fight to defend members of the gay community, even those who they deem to be “fags,” despite distaste for these flamboyant members of the community. And some perform in drag shows or sell sex to survive. The Gang’s All Queer poignantly illustrates how these men both respond to and resist societal marginalization. Timely, powerful, and engaging, this book will challenge us to think differently about gangs, gay men, and urban life.

Book Description
Rudolph, the Trump supporterhad a very brown noseand if you knew the truth aboutyou would even say he blowsAll of the other cabinet membersused to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor Rudyplay in any white house games.Then one post election eveDonald came to say:"Rudolph with your stamina so low,I'm afraid sissies have got to goRudy never got a post in the Trump Administration because he lacked stamina another way of saying he was basically a sissy since thanks to HOMOTHUG, word circulated on the internet that he was a bisexual. Rudy had this book removed from Amazon ages ago but it is back like a recurrent nightmare. Homothug exposed him as a bisexual whose butt buddy was his childhood friend Alan Placa, a disgraced child molesting priest. This book reveals the real Rudy, a cross-dressing freak whose father was busted in a State Park Men's Room frequented by boys for offering to give one of the kids a blow job. Rudy's dad was a piece of work, he claimed he ran a bar when the only bar he ever owned was a tire iron he used when he was a Mafia enforcer. His father was busted for finding this milkman that owed the mob money and taking what he owed from him forcibly. This occured at 96th St and Lexington Ave in Manhattan. And the man who bailed pops out was an investor in the 2nd Ave Subway long before the current one began construction. This book is not only a history of the pot-hating weasel but a history of the mob in New York City and New Jersey. Shoot, the U.S. Marshalls and the NYPD broke into my crib on the premise there was a gangbanger loose in the building when in reality they were looking for one of my sources who had gone underground. Rudy lied for Trump, covered up Trump groping behavior, campaigned with him and become his spokesperson. Rudy showed his true colors, something that many suspected on him all along. He is basically a fascist.

Book Description
Raised dirt poor in one of the worst parts of town, La-La is determined not end up like the generations of her family before her: a mother when she's barely in her teens, getting caught up in the drug game, or just plain stuck living hand-to-mouth in the projects for the rest of her life. She's got big dreams, not to mention the rare combination of a sharp mind, runway model looks, and a killer bod, all of which she plan on using to get the hell out of the ghetto. But even the best laid plans have a habit of going to pieces - especially in the hood. La-La finds that out firsthand when her ambitions cause her to cross paths with Dre, a much more worldly (and older) man than the scrubs she's used to dealing with. Showered with gifts and attention, La-La consciously chooses to overlook the strings that come attached to Dre's affection - namely, that he is a man with dangerous ties and associates. Forced outside her comfort zone, La-La finds herself getting caught up in Dre's world. Even worse, her normally good judgment is being impaired by both her desire for the finer things in life and her growing physical needs as she struggles to answer one question: is what she and Dre have real and worth risking everything for, or is he simply using her the way she had planned on using him?

Book Description
Honorable Mention, Association for Middle East Women’s Studies Honorable Mention, 2018 Arab American Book Awards (Non-Fiction) In contemporary France, particularly in the banlieues of Paris, the figure of the young, virile, hypermasculine Muslim looms large. So large, in fact, it often supersedes liberal secular society’s understanding of gender and sexuality altogether. Engaging the nexus of race, gender, nation, and sexuality, Sexagon studies the broad politicization of Franco-Arab identity in the context of French culture and its assumptions about appropriate modes of sexual and gender expression, both gay and straight. Surveying representations of young Muslim men and women in literature, film, popular journalism, television, and erotica as well as in psychoanalysis, ethnography, and gay and lesbian activist rhetoric, Mehammed Amadeus Mack reveals the myriad ways in which communities of immigrant origin are continually and consistently scapegoated as already and always outside the boundary of French citizenship regardless of where the individuals within these communities were born. At the same time, through deft readings of—among other things—fashion photography and online hook-up sites, Mack shows how Franco-Arab youth culture is commodified and fetishized to the point of sexual fantasy. Official French culture, as Mack suggests, has judged the integration of Muslim immigrants from North and West Africa—as well as their French descendants—according to their presumed attitudes about gender and sexuality. More precisely, Mack argues, the frustrations consistently expressed by the French establishment in the face of the alleged Muslim refusal to assimilate is not only symptomatic of anxieties regarding changes to a “familiar” France but also indicative of an unacknowledged preoccupation with what Mack identifies as the “virility cultures” of Franco-Arabs, rendering Muslim youth as both sexualized objects and unruly subjects. The perceived volatility of this banlieue virility serves to animate French characterizations of the “difficult” black, Arab, and Muslim boy—and girl—across a variety of sensational newscasts and entertainment media, which are crucially inflamed by the clandestine nature of the banlieues themselves and non-European expressions of virility. Mirroring the secret and underground qualities of “illegal” immigration, Mack shows, Franco-Arab youth increasingly choose to withdraw from official scrutiny of the French Republic and to thwart its desires for universalism and transparency. For their impenetrability, these sealed-off domains of banlieue virility are deemed all the more threatening to the surveillance of mainstream French society and the state apparatus.
