D'Emilio, John. Historian specializing in LGBT history. Taught at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

"Whisper Their Love, [Valerie] Taylor's first novel with lesbian content, was published in 1957. It tells the story of Joyce, a working-class girl from small-town Illinois who has just arrived at a college for white women in North Carolina. Family dysfunction trails her: Joyce was illegitimate, never knew her father, and was raised by a puritanical aunt while her mother, Mimi, was a traveling sales woman." Cited from: John D'Emilio, "Pulp Madness," 1950 - 1970

Gold has a long history of supporting grassroots and national nonprofits including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Leukemia Society, Human Rights Campaign, Empire State Pride Agenda, Design Industries Foundation for AIDS, Friend in Deed, and AIDS Leadership Foothills-Area Alliance. In April 2005, Inc. magazine named him one of the twenty-six "Entrepreneurs We Love."

SouthernSpaces.org

Southern Spaces is a peer-reviewed online journal that provides open access to articles, photo essays and images, presentations, and short videos about real and imagined spaces and places of the American South and their connections to the wider world. We intend our audience to be researchers and teachers, students in and out of classrooms, library patrons, and the general public.
A multimedia digital publication, Southern Spaces encourages the representation and analysis of many souths and southern regions, the critical scrutiny of any monolithic "South," the discovery of time-space relationships, and the mapping of expressive cultural forms associated with place. We welcome submissions from scholars, photographers, and visual artists in such areas as geography, southern studies, regional studies, women's studies, LGBTQ studies, public health, and African American, Native, and American Studies.
