A growing series of booklets by Dr. Minor on current
issues crucial to the next stage of progress in the
work of achieving fairness for all people. Meant to
provide new and insightful perspectives in areas of
liberation work where we often become stuck, these durable,
eight-page booklets are practical guides to healthy
activism.
#1 "When You're Having a Religious
Argument" — An effective, simple, response
to religious arguments which is clear about personal
goals, recognizes key dynamics of religion and religious
arguments often overlooked, and recommends responses
for moving behind the religious arguments to the real
issues. All without getting caught up in arguing religion,
scriptures, or tradition. New
2nd edition.
#2 "Burnout, Blowout and Breaking
Up: Navigating the Hazards of Activist Leadership"
— Practical principles for a model of leadership
intended to provide what progressive movements need
and to ensure personal growth in those who choose to
be leaders. Based in Dr. Minor's workshops on healthy
activism, his "healing" model breaks the patterns
of the usual leadership ideals which arise out of profit-oriented
institutions that don't seek deep-rooted, progressive
change.
#3 "Case Closed! Responding
to Psychological Arguments Against Gay People"
— Practical strategies to respond to anti-gay
arguments which use psychology and promote "reparative
therapy" or "conversion therapy" to change
people's orientations. Dr. Minor recommends how not
to get caught up in psychological arguments and how
to get down to the real issues. With all of its potential
to liberate people from ignorance and prejudice, science
like religion has been used to oppress people as well
as to liberate them.
#4 "Help, I'm a Parent!
Fully Human Parents Raising Fully Human Children"
— One of the most common questions Dr. Minor receives
in his workshops and classes is how parents can raise
their children to counter the destructive limitations
of masculine and feminine gender roles. Dr. Minor recommends
practical, get to the point, strategies of thought and
action that parents can use to rethink their parental
role and allow their children to grow up with models
of what it is to be fully human.
New 2nd edition
#5 "Homophobia: A Diagnosis
and Cure" — Building on the
perspective he explained in Scared Straight,
Dr. Minor sets forth concise, practical ways of
thinking about homophobia as a central element
of cultural conditioning crucial to our gender
roles and how to dismantle it personally and societally.
Especially important are recommendations about
how not to be distracted into side issues and to
get down to, and heal, the core problem that hurts
everyone, gay or straight. New
2nd edition
Booklets are available at Dr. Minor's seminars.
