<p><b>Guardian's Best Paperback of the Month</b><br><br><b>ONE OF </b><i>THE GUARDIAN</i><b>'S and </b><i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i><b>' BOOKS OF 2020</b><br><br><b>'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, <i>Guardian</i></b><br> <b>'Powerful... meticulously researched' Andrew McMillan, <i>Observer</i> Book of the Week</b><br><br>Six years in the making, <i>The Pink Line</i> 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. <br><br>From refugees in South Africa to activists in Egypt, transgender women in Russia and transitioning teens in the American Mid-West, <i>The Pink Line</i> 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. <br><br>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.</p>
