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 guide examines all the colours 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.
Vanessa Baird has been co-editor at New
Internationalist magazine since 1986. Her
previous books include, as compiler and editor,
Eye to Eye Women.
