Gay and Lesbian Communities the World Over examines the treatment
and status of gays and lesbians in 21 countries around the world.
The countries included are Canada, the United States, Argentina,
Brazil, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Hungary,
Poland, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, South Africa, India,
China, Japan, and Australia. The book explores the history of
homosexuality dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, as well as
attitudes toward gays and lesbians within the world's most
prominent religions, the arts, literature, and film. This
investigation is unique due to its comprehensive and innovative
analysis of a wide range of topics concerning gay and lesbian
communities across a large number of countries. The authors report
on the rights of gay and lesbian citizens in the countries listed
above, as for example the right to marry, adopt, serve in the
military, hold certain occupational positions. They also describe
the status of gay and lesbian citizens as for example, the legality
of homosexuality and sanctioned punishments. When available, public
opinion data are reported on how respondents feel about gays and
lesbians in their country as well as their opinions on what rights
should be afforded to this group. Data are reported on respondents'
opinions on allowing gay marriage, civil unions, adoption, and
allowing gays to openly serve in the military. The representative
sample of countries in this study will help scholars get a better
sense of the status of gays and lesbians across the globe.
