Summary:
"In this book Laura Belmonte offers an account of the international LGBT rights movement, from its origins in the early 1970s to its crucial place in world affairs today. She provides an introduction to the movement's history, highlighting the key figures, controversies, and organizations, including Amnesty International and the International Lesbian and Gay Human Rights Commission. With a global scope which considers both state and non-state actors, the book explores transnational movements to challenge homophobia, while also assessing the successes and failures of these efforts along the way"-- Provided by publisher.
