xvii, 190 pages ; 22 cm, \"Breaks down the most commonly held misconceptions about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their lives. \"You Can Tell Just by Looking\" unpacks enduring, popular, and deeply held myths about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, culture, and life in America. Some of these myths, such as \"all religions condemn homosexuality,\" have been used to justify discrimination and oppression of LGBT people. Other myths, such as \"LGBT people are born that way,\" have been adopted by LGBT communities and their allies. By discussing and dispelling these myths--including gay-positive ones--the authors challenge readers to question their own beliefs and to grapple with the complexities of what it means to be queer in the broadest social, political, and cultural sense\"--, Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-190)
