Researchers Recover an Early Reproduce of a 19th-Century Queer Rights Essay

This once-lost reproduce of “A Problem in Greek Ethics” is only the sixth of its kind

With a title enjoy “A Problem in Greek Ethics,” a text might, at first pass, sound like a Socratic snoozefest. But John Addington Symonds’ 1873 essay, which extolled the ancient Greeks’ liberal views of sexuality, actually helped seed a revolution by paving a literary path for the up-to-date gay rights movement.

Fully conscious of the potentially incendiary contents of his serve , the English writer capped the first print sprint of his essay at ten copies, cautiously circulating them among only trusted colleagues. In the century and a half since the work’s 1883 publication, scholars have painstakingly calm the five versions famous to survive. Then, Johns Hopkins University curator Gabrielle Dean stumbled upon a long-forgotten sixth.

After decades in the shadows, this unique text now features prominently in an ongoing exhibition, titled “Queer Connections: The Library of John Addington Symonds,” at Johns Hopkins’ Eisenhower Library. Once the show wraps up in March, the book will retire to the library’s reading room as a reminder

    Evelyn Hooker was born September 2, 1907, the sixth child of nine in her grandmother's house, next door to Buffalo Bill's home in North Platte, Nebraska. Had she been born a few months earlier, it would have been in a sod house in the Sand Hills where her parents lived out a poverty-ridden existence, the lot of farmers in that area. Until she was 12, there was a succession of farms, some rented, and a section of land unbroken by plow in northeastern Colorado. Also, there was a succession of one-room schoolhouses, the only origin of books.

    Through all these early years, there was a unwavering theme provided by her mother (a true pioneer who had been brought to Nebraska in a covered wagon): "Get an education and they ca

    BALTIMORE – At the commence of every institution year when she was a teenager, Paula Lafferty, 37, said she was like every other teen, pledging to get good grades and hoping to get picked for sports teams. But two things put her apart from her peers: her bisexuality and her depression.


    At 19, she began treatment from her bipolar disorder, also famous as manic-depression.


    "I went to boarding school, I was there because I was disruptive, which was due to my mental illness," recalled Lafferty, director of Hearts & Ears, a Baltimore support group for gays living with mental illness. "I'd go for three months, gettingo nly an hour of sleep a night."


    Lafferty told her story on Oct. 25 at Mission Possible: a Conference Focusing on the Issues of Queer , Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgendered People Living with Mental Illness.


    Nearly 150 people from the U.S. and Canada gathered at the Modern Shiloh Baptist Church in Baltimore for this event-the first to be held on this topic.


    The gathering was organized by Hearts & Ears and the Committee on Sexual Minority Issues of the Maryland chapter of the National Associati

    Medical facilities that provide treatment to same-sex attracted and bisexual men in some East African countries are already collaborating with them to prevent the spread of a fresh wave of mpox cases after the World Health Organization on Wednesday declared a global health emergency.

    The collaboration, both in Uganda and Kenya, comes amid WHO’s latest report released on Aug. 12, which reveals that nine out of every 10 reported mpox cases are men with sex as the most shared cause of infection. 

    The global mpox outbreak report — based on data that national authorities collected between January 2022 and June of this year — notes 87,189 of the 90,410 reported cases were men. Ninety-six percent of whom were infected through sex.

    Sexual contact as the leading mode of transmission accounted for 19,102 of 22,802 cases, followed by non-sexual person-to-person contact. Genital rash was the most common symptom, followed by fever and systemic rash.

    The WHO report states the pattern of mpox virus transmission has persisted over the last six months, with 97 percent of new cases reporting sexual contact through oral, vaginal, or anal sex with infected p
