Contributors theorize homophobia as a distinct configuration of repressive state-sponsored policies and practices with their own causes, explanations, and effects on how sexualities are understood and experienced in a range of national contexts. The essays include a broad range of geographic cases, including Cameroon, Ecuador, Iran, Lebanon, Poland, Singapore, and the United States.Gay rightsHomophobiaGay rights.Homophobia.306.766Bosia Michael J1150328Weiss Meredith L(Meredith Leigh),1972-867427MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789592503321Global homophobia3782633UNINA
