The Pink Line

Uncategorized

Have you ever asked yourself, what is the difference between a country that embraces and pursues progressive rights for LGBTIQ people and those countries to repress and even strengthen their anti-LGBTI direction. Is it culture, demographics, history, religion …it is a complex question.

Mark Gevisser, author of The Pink Line: Journeys Across The World’s Pink Frontiers, has asked that exact question. Aside from proposing a theory of the “have’s versus the have-not’s” in LGBTI rights, the book also follows the lives of a variety of LGBTI people and their different experiences as they negotiate The Pink Line.
