Description

The Pink Line: A Global Story of LGBTQ+ Rights In this groundbreaking book, Mark Gevisser takes us on a journey to nine countries around the world, following the stories of individuals and communities who are fighting for their rights. From South Africa to Egypt, Russia to the American Mid-West, The Pink Line reveals the intimate and deeply affecting struggles of those who are pushing for change. As same-sex marriage and gender transition become increasingly celebrated in some parts of the world, laws criminalising homosexuality and gender non-conformity have been strengthened in others. Gevisser's book sheds light on this troubling new equation, highlighting the complexities and contradictions of our modern world. Through his stories, Gevisser shows us that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is not just a local issue, but a global one. This powerful and thought-provoking book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in human rights, social justice, and the ongoing struggle for equality.
