Uses the state of Oklahoma as a case study for how US conservatives have attempted to unqueer America since the 1950s. By exploring the scandal-filled lives of four Oklahomans, this book demonstrates how unqueering operates in a conservative American context. Carol Mason weaves a story about how homogenizing, antigay ideas evolve from generation to generation so that they achieve particular economic, imperial, racial, and gendered goals. Using engaging and accessible commentary on antigay crusaders (Sally Kern and Anita Bryant) and two queer teachers dismissed from their positions (Billy James Hargis and Bruce Goff), Mason illustrates how the lives of these figures represent paradigmatic moments in conservative confrontations with queers and help us to understand the conflation of terrorism with homosexuality, which dates back to the McCarthy era. Oklahomo is a wonderful addition to recent queer studies of critical regionalism, rural life, and sexual norms. Via four spot-on case studies, Carol Mason traces a hypnotic history of the US Right that deepens our knowledge of how cultures of terror materialized alongside cultures of sexuality in the American Midwest. Overflowing with acuity, this book is mandatory reading for scholars invested in LGBTQ studies, rural/urban studies, and forgotten tales of modern conservatism.

Dá sa zabudnúť na prvú lásku?
Pred pätnástimi rokmi sa v pestrofarebnom ruchu Vietnamu stretla Celine s Patrickom a prežili spolu štyri dni plné šťastia. Vyzeralo to na pravú lásku, ale nakoniec ich realita rozdelila a Celine si ďalej žila svojím životom. No vo chvíli, keď Patricka náhodou zbadala na rušnej londýnskej ulici, odrazu jej na ničom inom nezáležalo.
Celine podala žiadosť o rozvod a po dvoch rokoch vyrovnávania sa s rozporuplnými pocitmi sa radšej venovala svojej dcére a zoznamovacej agentúre, ktorú založila. Cesty Celine a Patricka sa však opäť skrížili. Je im súdené dať sa znovu dokopy? Alebo Celine skôr túži dať druhú šancu svojmu bývalému manželovi Mikovi?
Pretože stará láska nehrdzavie.
No nádej na prežitie má len skutočná láska.
