Just as most publishing houses are cutting back on titles geared toward an LGBT audience, Boston-based Beacon Press is doing just the opposite. This June, Beacon launched a new series titled Queer Action/Queer Ideas. Edited by Michael Bronski, author of The Pleasure Principle: Sex, Backlash and the Struggle For Gay Freedom, the series aims to bring books to LGBT readers that deal with serious topics in accessible language (read: not academic).
