|  | The International Encyclopedia of Secret Societies & Fraternal Orders by Alan Axelrod
Secret societies and fraternal orders have many different raisons d'etre, but they all have one thing in common: they divide the world into us and them . Whether their motives are vindictive or purely innocent, these organizations often provide those who join with a sense of purpose in their lives. Featuring over 800 entries, this complete A-to-Z guide profiles all types of private organizations -- social, benevolent, ethnic, trade, religious, criminal, and political -- and the important rites, concepts, and key individuals within these groups. For many currently active groups and organizations, this reference provides information on membership, activities, and location. AUTHOR: Alan Axelrod

 | Selling Out by Alexandra Chasin
Acknowledging that one of the many achievements of the gay rights movement is a recognition by corporations that gay men and women constitute a very desirable market, Chasin asks whether this may have resulted in marketing strategies that present a somewhat limited set of images of gay lifestyles--and that this may, ultimately, serve to undermine the goals of the movement.
