Summary
"According to Desmond Tutu, this book 'illuminates anew the bleak wasteland that is prejudice. It illuminates more clearly than ever that a loving, understanding humanity is sustained by justice ... Sex, Love and Homophobia is a bright light on the path to justice.' The purpose of the book is to give an insight into lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in the world today. The format is deliberately easy-to-read and can be dipped into according to interest. Grayson Perry, Turner Prize winner 2003 says of the book: 'it is very accessible to young people and is also a moving and serious document of the history, culture and politics of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered world'."--Publisher description.
