THE PINK LINE - MARK GEVISSER KARTONIERT (TB)

Guardian's Best Paperback of the Month    ONE OF THE GUARDIAN 'S and FINANCIAL TIMES ' BOOKS OF
2020    'In intimate  often tender prose  Gevisser brings to life the complex movement for
queer civil rights and the many people on whom it bears.' Colm Toibin  Guardian   'Powerful...
meticulously researched' Andrew McMillan  Observer Book of the Week   Six years in the making 
The Pink Line follows protagonists from nine countries all over the globe to tell the story of
how LGBTQ+ Rights became one of the world's new human rights frontiers in the second decade of
the twenty-first century.   From refugees in South Africa to activists in Egypt  transgender
women in Russia and transitioning teens in the American Mid-West  The Pink Line folds intimate
and deeply affecting stories of individuals  families and communities into a definitive account
of how the world has changed  so dramatically  in just a decade.   And in doing so he reveals a
troubling new equation that has come in to play: while same-sex marriage and gender transition
are now celebrated in some parts of the world  laws to criminalise homosexuality and gender
non-conformity have been strengthened in others. In a work of great scope and wonderful
storytelling  this is the groundbreaking  definitive account of how issues of sexuality and
gender identity divide and unite the world today.
