From Wrongs to Gay Rights: Cruelty and change for LGBT people in an uncertain world
In a world where 76+ countries still have laws against homosexuality, a same-sex kiss can lead to a prison sentence or even death. In those countries, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face arrest for loving the wrong people. Here, in their own words, activists tell what€s going on:
>A man sentenced to prison for sending an amorous text.
>A transgender woman who needs anonymous health care.
>An archbishop who wonders: Dildos for AIDS widows?
>A gay priest who struggles with his own homophobia.
>Gay rights groups under attack from police and mobs.
>The exuberance of Uganda€s first Pride Parade.
The authors include LGBT activists in Cameroon, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Zimbabwe.
Many chapters of this book appeared first in the €œErasing 76 Crimes€ blog, which exposes the human toll of anti-LGBT laws. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be used to support the blog as well as the work of activists seeking a better life for sexual minorities worldwide.
