The No-Nonsense Guide to Sexual Diversity
Author: Vanessa Baird
Demystifies all the colours of the sexual rainbow, tracking the campaigns for rights and equality worldwide.
Foreword, Contents and Introduction
The treatment of sexual minorities - whether lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender – varies significantly in different parts of the world. In some countries equal rights have been achieved and progress is being made against discrimination; in others being gay still incurs the death penalty.
This No-Nonsense Guide examines all the colors of the sexual rainbow, unearths hidden histories and looks at contributions from medicine and science. It includes a unique global survey of laws that affect LGBT people.
