You might like to check out Part 5 "Queer/Subjectivities" in "The Guattari
Reader" ed by Genosko.  It contains "Three Billion Perverts on the Stand",
"Subjectivites for Better and for Worse", "A Liberation of Desire",
"Towards a New Perspective on Identity" and "Genet Regained".

In 1973 Guattari, as the editor of "Recherches" was charged with
"affronting public decency" when he published an issue on homosexuality.

Other sources include, "I Have even met Happy Drag Queens" and "Becoming
Woman" in Guattari's "Soft Subversions" (Semiotext(e)).

Concepts such as Body without Organs, a thousand tiny sexes, becoming woman
etc appear in "A Thousand Plateaux" and sporadically in "Anti-Oedipus".
