520 |a "The US military has done an about-face on gender and sexuality policy over the last decade, ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell, restrictions on women in combat, and transgender exclusion. Contrary to expectations, service members have largely welcomed LGB inclusion-yet they continue to vociferously resist trans inclusion and women on the front lines. In the minds of many, the embodied "deficiencies" of cisgender women and trans people of all genders puts others-and indeed, the nation-at risk. In this book, Connell identifies the homonormative bargain that underwrites these uneven patterns of reception. Despite the promise of inclusivity, in practice, the military has made room for only a "few good gays," to the exclusion of all others"--  |c Provided by publisher.
