Inhalt
In March 2003 - more than three decades after Stonewall - police stormed the Power Plant, a private Detroit club frequented by African American LGBT people. Over 350 people were handcuffed and subjected to homophobic slurs. Some were hit on the head and back. Others were slammed into walls. Their supposed crime was later chalked up to a bizarre infraction: »loitering inside a building«. Three years earlier, Freddie Mason, a 31-year-old Black gay man was arrested after a verbal altercation with his landlord, and then anally raped with a billy club covered in cleaning liquid by a Chicago police officer. A Tennessee police officer's beating of Duanna Johnson, a Black transgender woman, was even caught on camera. Within a year, she was dead. Events such as these illuminate a long shadow of criminalization of LGBT people in America. This book turns a »queer eye« on the criminal legal system in which queer lives happen to be criminalized, policed, and punished.
