Reviews

'Aimed at those aged 16 and over, this book explores the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people around the globe. It focuses on laws and cultural practices that oppress, and campaigning and organising that liberates. Those drafted in for support range from Bishop Desmond Tutu to potter Grayson Perry. Written by Vanessa Baird, it is a useful and readable introduction to sexuality and homophobia.' Young People Now magazine, 6-12 October 2004. (From section 'A round-up of new resources for youth workers'.)
