More than seven years in the making, Mark Gevisser's book is a globetrotting exploration of how the human rights frontier around sexual orientation and gender identity has come to divide - and describe - the world in an entirely new way over the first two decades of the twenty-first century. In between sharp analytical chapters about culture wars, folklore, gender ideology, and geopolitics, he provides sensitive and sometimes startling profiles of the queer folk he's encountered on the Pink Line's front lines across nine countries.
