Chuck Stewart’s autobiography written in a style that puts the reader in the middle of the action so that you can experience what it is like to be discriminated against for being gay. Stewart kept a journal of life experiences and has recreated many of the scenes in his life. So often, if an LGBTQ+ person simply shares that they have a romantic partner or are married to a same-sex partner, they are immediately accused of “talking about sex” or “promoting” a deviant lifestyle. This is a heterosexist double standard that heterosexuals often are unaware they are perpetrating. Stewart takes you through angry epithets and violence he experienced in aerospace companies, public schools, private businesses, and more. He has had bricks thrown through the window of his house, the Vice President of HR at Rocketdyne slamming him against the walls of his office, having his security clearance held up by DISCO for being gay, and discovering in the 9th Circuit case of High Tech Gays vs. Department of Defense that he was blacklisted and could never work again in engineering. Later, working as a public school teacher was problematic due to his insistence on being out and proud with staff AND students, resulting in being fired from two school districts. He lost his dance school and retail dancewear store due to rumors that he had AIDS. Experience what it was like to head up a Queer Nation demonstration and participate in the massive demonstrations at the California Capitol protesting Governor Pete Wilson’s veto of an anti-discrimination bill that would have provided some protection for LGBTQ+ people. And so much more. If you want to experience what it is like to be discriminated against, this book is for you. Hopefully the book will help policy makers to understand what discrimination really looks like.

How do A.I. and robots become conscious? That question is explored in the Singularity trilogy. Dale, a narcissistic gay man on the verge of becoming a partner at his financial planning company in the year 2050, sees other electric cars self-driving, speeding, cutting in line at the charging station, and other law violations. He wants the same privilege and seeks out illegal software that enables these features on his new, very expensive electric car. A mysterious benefactor upgrades the car’s computers, surprisingly allowing the car to be conscious and sentient. Many more of his household computers and robots join the network with surprising results. But they need to learn what it means to be conscious. Dale, and his self-centered behaviors, teach the robots survival skills. At the same time, a new powerful e-bomb has been released onto the planet that destroys all electronics in a small designated area. It is a cheap, renewal weapon for which there is no defense. The world faces being thrown back into the stone age. Can Dale help? Will the robots help? How do robots become conscious? What does this all mean?

The author, Chuck Stewart, believes science fiction should be based on good science. All the technological innovations discussed in the book are based on real science projected a few decades into the future.

The book is non-apologetic about language, sex, and action. This is written for adults ready to consume an action-packed science fiction with explicit gay male sex, violence, and strong language.

While most would think of the modern Gay Rights Movement as beginning in the 1960s, in reality, the issue of nonheterosexual human behavior within society and the campaign to achieve equality and acceptance have existed far earlier. Beginning with the First People in the Americas and their acceptance of tribal members who did not conform to gender and sexual binary roles, to the expansion west and establishment of the United States as a Republic, to the contentious struggles for equality in the 20th and 21st centuries, this reference traces the development of the Gay Rights Movement through the examination of primary source materials related to the incremental changes toward making America safe for all people.

Editor and writer for 3-volume reference set on LGBT issues.

In June of 2015, the United State Supreme Court issued an opinion that directly impacted the lives of many LGBT Americans: in Obergefell v. Hodges, the court required all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. While many activists consider this a major achievement, LGBT individuals still face a number of pressing issues. In Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Americans at Risk, editor Chuck Stewart and a carefully selected group of contributors unravel these far-reaching concerns. The book is a cutting-edge resource for academics, activists, scholars, students, and lay people who are interested in examining LGBT social and political movements as well as the public policy progress and setbacks of recent years. Three volumes of essays by experts in a variety of fields delve deeply into primary sources to tackle important topics such as transgender adolescents, alcohol and drug abuse, and the massacre at Pulse gay nightclub, along with dozens of others. Organized by life stages, this comprehensive work sheds light on concerns and controversies affecting youth, adults, and seniors connected to the LGBT community.

2014

Editor and writer for 3-volume reference set on LGBT culture, politics, and history in the United States.

With the social, religious, and political stigmas attached to alternative lifestyles throughout history, most homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people lived covertly for much of, if not all of, their lives. Likewise, the narrative of our country excludes the contributions, struggles, and historical achievements of this group. This revealing, chronologically arranged reference work uncovers the rich story of the LGBT community in the United States and discusses the politics, culture, and issues affecting it since the early 17th century.

Author Chuck Stewart traces the evolution of LGBT issues as part of our nation’s shared cultural past and modern-day experience. Volume 1 focuses on the origins of the movement with the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the 1970s and the beginning of gay rights activism in the United States. Volume 2 spans the 1980s and the AIDs pandemic through the present-day issues of marriage equality. Volume 3 gives a concise review of this society in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
