Description
As Louis-Georges Tin explains in his introduction, the dictionary format allows a problem to be exposed at one time through all angles. To combat homophobia, this is exactly what he felt was needed. The Dictionary of Homophobia is an unprecedented record of all the acts of repression against homosexuals, homosexuality and civil rights, and as such is a landmark reference point.
Here you will not only find the history of the word homophobia (first used in print in 1971 by K.T. Smith in her article “Homophobia: A Tentative Personality Profile” but also information on the perpetrators, the victims, the countries (US, China, France, Germany, India, etc.), the regions (South-East Asia, Latin America, etc.), the laws and everything else as it relates to homophobia.
Author
Bertrand Delanoe : Bertrand Delanoe is currently the Mayor of Paris. In his words: “On homophobia, this work has the enormous merit of clarifying the debate, and of opening the road to progress, even if only by laying out the stakes.”
