Description

The book offers perspectives on the rights of sexual minorities in the Global South.

In several countries, consensual sexual activity in private amongst persons of the same gender is still criminalized.

The argument is that same-sexual relationships are 'uncultural' or 'unnatural'.

In countries where anti-gay laws persist, the rights of LGBT persons are not considered human rights. The book seeks to examine the cultural and religious issues that influence anti-gay laws in juxtaposition with the need to protect the human rights of sexual minorities in the 21st century.

The book adopts the following disciplinary prisms - legal, sociological, political, religious, and anthropological.

There is a growing appetite for research in this area in order to advance the need for the decriminalization of same-sex sexual activity amongst consenting adults in private.

The book examines the core issues from an interdisciplinary perspective.

It serves as a resource for scholars in diverse fields who research this area such as lawyers, policymakers, and academics in the fields of religion, philosophy, law, anthropology, sociology, and criminology.
