Terry Sullivan: Pre-Class Sexuality: Free, Warm and Wild
International Socialism Journal nr. 140, okt 13 
Note: Recently in this journal Sheila McGregor has written about sexuality in pre-class societies and its evolution. Colin Wilson replied arguing that McGregor’s analysis is incorrect. In turn, John Molyneux has countered Wilson. Most recently, Wilson has responded, and Molyneux countered again. In this article I wish to show that, while there are shortcomings with McGregor’s account, it is Wilson who is fundamentally mistaken. In so doing I elaborate on two points that Molyneux makes and defend him from two erroneous criticisms made by Wilson.
 

John Molyneux: Sexuality and social constructionism: A reply to Colin Wilson
International Socialism Journal nr. 140, okt 13 
Note: The mere mention of “nature”—in this case principally biology—in relation to human history and the development of women’s oppression—in my International Socialism article has produced a frenzy of accusations from certain quarters: John Molyneux’s argument is gender essentialist, transphobic, homophobic, not to speak of intellectually dishonest, ignorant, disgusting and so on.
 

Colin Wilson: A Response to John Molyneux on Sexuality
International Socialism Journal nr. 140, okt 13 
Note: John Molyneux has intervened in a debate concerning the history of sexuality. Sexuality has been a subject of serious study only in the last 40 years, the field emerging from the women’s and gay movements of the 1970s. Lesbian and gay authors began its development by unearthing a history that included the movement headed by Magnus Hirschfeld in Germany before and after the First World War, the development of struggles in 1950s America, and the inspiring example of the Russian Revolution.

John Molyneux: Feedback: History without nature? A response to Nancy Lindisfarne, Jonathan Neale and Colin Wilson
International Socialism Journal nr. 140, okt 13 – side 201
Note: Unfortunately I lack the knowledge, particularly in anthropology, needed to offer a comprehensive response to either Nancy Lindisfarne and Jonathan Neale’s “What Gender Does” or Colin Wilson’s “Sexuality in Pre-class Society” in the previous issue of this journal. However, it does seem to me that each of their articles suffers from a serious and fundamental weakness and that, on inspection, this turns out to be basically the same weakness—a tendency to completely separate human history from what Karl Marx referred to as its “natural bases”.
 

Colin Wilson: Sexuality in pre-class society: A response to Sheila McGregor
International Socialism Journal nr. 139, jul 13 – side 155
Note: Since the 19th century Marxists have argued that the development of human society began with a long period of “primitive communism”, characterised by the absence of classes and by equality between men and women. McGregor takes this assertion further, claiming that primitive communism is also characterised by benign attitudes and practices regarding sexuality.

Josh Hollands: Book Review: Trade unions and LGBT activism
International Socialism Journal nr. 148, okt 15 – side 213
Note: Miriam Frank, Out in the Union: A Labor History of Queer America (Temple University Press, 2014), £20.99

In the past year there has been increased interest, both in the academy and in the broad left, in notions of solidarity between lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and the organised working class. This has been spurred on by the release of the film Pride, which details how a group of activists formed Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners during the 1984-5 strike against Margaret Thatcher’s pit closures. The recent publication of Miriam Frank’s detailed narrative of LGBT people organising within and alongside unions in the United States is therefore timely.

John Molyneux: Sexuality and social constructionism: A reply to Colin Wilson
International Socialism Journal nr. 140, okt 13 
Note: The mere mention of “nature”—in this case principally biology—in relation to human history and the development of women’s oppression—in my International Socialism article has produced a frenzy of accusations from certain quarters: John Molyneux’s argument is gender essentialist, transphobic, homophobic, not to speak of intellectually dishonest, ignorant, disgusting and so on.

International Socialism Journal nr. 141, jan 14 – side 37
Note: In July 2013 Bradley Manning, the American soldier who passed thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks in protest at US military operations in the Middle East, was sentenced to 35 years in Fort Leavenworth military prison. The day after sentencing Manning caused a media sensation by announcing that she had had gender identity issues since childhood and from now on was to be known as Chelsea Manning and that she intended to pursue gender transition.
 

Colin Wilson: Ghosts of the past return
Socialist Review nr. 382, jul 13 – side 13

Peter Morgan: Class divisions in the gay community
International Socialism Journal nr. 78, mar 98 – side 77
Note: Gay politics are at a crossroads. The celebration of the 'pink economy' which seemed so dominant in the 1980s has increasingly turned sour for many gays and lesbians. The annual Pride march is now in danger of splitting in two, as many react against the commercialism and depoliticisation which has accompanied increasing sponsorship by gay businesses. Peter Morgan examines the class divide among gays and lesbians and traces the ways in which it expresses itself in the debate about the future of the movement.

Sadie Robinson: Oppression lies behind the low rape conviction rates
Socialist Worker nr. 2078, nov 07 – side 9
