The authors offer a deep conversation about the meaning of sexuality, subjectivity and culture. This book affirms the importance of recognizing gay and lesbian social issues within the arena of public anthropology; explores critical concerns of gay activism in a variety of global settings, from the U.S., the European Union, Singapore, Nigeria, India, Nicaragua, and Guadalajara; offers a unique focus on the politics of being gay and lesbian - in cross-cultural perspective; and deals with broad-ranging issues that affect human sexuality and human rights globally.
