Book Description
Navigate the complex spectrum, be who you are, and find happiness with an attitude of positivity. The queer community has been through a lot, hasn't it? The members of the LGBTQIA+ community saw the riots at Stonewall, they saw their happiness being questioned, and they saw their existence being denied any recognition. It's still tough to be gay in this day and age — you don't need a therapist to tell you that. A queer person goes through many different stages in their life, starting with the crisis of identity. Am I gay? Maybe I'm just bi. No, maybe it is just a phase like they all say it is. Then, they move into self-acceptance but have a fear of really coming out. What will my parents say? Will I get fired from my job for being gay? Maybe I should just keep it a secret for now. While keeping it a secret might be the easier choice at times, it's never the happiest one. But the LGBTQIA+ community are fighters. From the march from Stonewall to the shooting at Pulse, gay people continue to keep their chins up to fight for who they really are. That's called the ultimate resilience. Now, it's time to turn that fight into positivity. Affirmations are one of the best ways that queer people can really manifest a happier life. It's your turn to live the life you want and be the person you were born to be. In this inspirational guide, you will discover: - The world of positive affirmations – discover its power and how it can wash away the negativity - Powerful affirmations to become physically healthy by fighting all the pressures of body image in the gay community - The power to find love – use positive affirmations to build yourself up with happy relationships - How to take care of your mind and push aside those negative influences that are bringing you down constantly - The tools to become financially successful with a better understanding of the laws and regulations that protect you as a gay person - How to embrace your femininity, be who you really are, and embrace affirmations to live a free life - The best way to fight internalized homophobia – uncover the secrets to taking down this dark monster through positivity And much more. You still might be wondering if positive affirmations really do work or if they're just a bunch of new-age nonsense. But there is solid science behind it and concrete evidence and testimonies of its powerful effects. Using positive affirmations can truly enrich your life and help you embrace your unique identity.

Book Description
Why are first impressions so powerful? How do we “know” what others are like when we cannot read their minds? How can scientists measure biases that people do not want to admit--or do not know they have?

Students are introduced to core concepts and processes pertaining to how people come to know themselves and understand the behavior of others. Classic and contemporary findings and experimental methods are explained. The text connects the research to pressing contemporary problems--the roots of political polarization, why even rational people fall prey to misinformation, and the best ways to reduce prejudice. Boxed definitions of key terms are included throughout.

Transforming Prejudice
Author: Melissa R. Michelson
Publisher:
ISBN: 0190068884
Category : PHILOSOPHY
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Since the mid-1990s, there has been a seismic shift in attitudes toward gay and lesbian people, with a majority of Americans now supporting same-sex marriage and relations between same-sex, consenting adults. However, support for transgender individuals lags far behind; a significant majority of Americans do not support the right of transgender people to be free from discrimination in housing, employment, public spaces, health care, legal documents, and other areas. Much of this is due to deeply entrenched ideas about the definition of gender, perceptions that transgender people are not "real" or are suffering from mental illness, and fears that extending rights to transgender people will come at the expense of the rights of others. So how do you get people to rethink their prejudices? In this book, Melissa R. Michelson and Brian F. Harrison examine what tactics are effective in changing public opinion regarding transgender people. The result is a new approach that they call Identity Reassurance Theory. The idea is that individuals need to feel confident in their own identity before they can embrace a stigmatized group like transgender people, and that support of members of an outgroup can be encouraged by affirming the self-esteem of those targeted for attitude change. Michelson and Harrison, through their experiments, show that the most effective messaging on transgender issues meets people where they are, acknowledges their discomfort without judgment or criticism, and helps them to think about transgender people and rights in a way that aligns with their view of themselves as moral human beings.

The Love of David and Jonathan
Author: James E. Harding
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134940262
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Were David and Jonathan 'gay' lovers? This very modern question lies behind the recent explosion of studies of the David and Jonathan narrative. Interpreters differ in their assessment of whether 1 and 2 Samuel offer a positive portrayal of a homosexual relationship. Beneath the conflict of interpretations lies an ambiguous biblical text which has drawn generations of readers - from the redactors of the Hebrew text and the early translators to modern biblical scholars - to the task of resolving its possible meanings. What has not yet been fully explored is the place of David and Jonathan in the evolution of modern, Western understandings of same-sex relationships, in particular how the story of their relationship was read alongside classical narratives, such as those of Achilles and Patroclus, or Orestes and Pylades. The Love of David and Jonathan explores this context in detail to argue that the story of David and Jonathan was part of the process by which the modern idea of homosexuality itself emerged.
