"Queer Migrations" uses anthropological approaches to discuss queer sexual identities and transmigration. Cantu, Luibheid, and some contributors also use oral histories of gay and lesbian trans migrants to document marginalization within the migration process. The testimonios collected by the authors document the marginalization apparent at border locations within the U.S. "Queer Migrations" documents multiple examples of exploitation, marginalization, and sexualization revolving around U.S. border structural institutions. Following hospitalization and surgery to attend to a ruptured lower intestine, Dr. Lionel Cantú died unexpectedly of cardiac arrest on May 26, 2002. Cantú is survived by his life partner, Hernando Molinares of Santa Cruz, California and his parents, two sisters, and one brother. Two days after his death, family, friends, and colleagues crowded into a “standing room only” memorial service to remember Cantú at the Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California, the largest church in the city. On June 3, 2004, the UC Santa Cruz Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Intersex Resource Center was renamed in his honor to The Lionel Cantú Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Intersex Resource Center. After Cantú's death, students and faculty from various areas of study formed the Lionel Cantú working group, in efforts to finish the projects that were in progress during the final moments of the scholar's life. With the help of Nancy Naples and other members of the group such as Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Patricia Zavella, Craig Reinarman, Olga Nájara-Ramírez, and Sarita Gaytan, Cantú's most profound work became published, including his book, "The Sexuality of Migration: Border Crossings and Mexican Immigrant Men".
